PREFACE 


Ix  1883  .'I  small  volume  of  18-1  pages  was  pu])li.shed  liv  Joseph 
I>.  Hall,  Jr.,  then  of  Danielson,  (Jonii.,  under  the  title  of 
The  Genealogy  and  Biography  cjf  the  Waldos  in  America 
froui  IGnO  to  1883.  It  was  largely  compiled  from  the  uni)ul)- 
lislu'd  papers  of  the  late  Judge  Loren  Pinckuey  Wahlo,  ^sas 
poorly  arranged,  badly  indexed,  and — in  sjVile  of  its  cojnj)re- 
hensive  title — very  limited  in  its  seo])e,  being  mostly  devoted 
tf)  two  lines  of  descendants  of  John  Waldo,  the  oldest  son 
of  Ojk.\I':lius  Waldo,  the  immigi-ant.  It  remained,  however, 
until  1898,  with  a  few  short  articles  in  the  Kev::  England 
Historical  and  Genealogical  Register ,  which  v^-ere  full  of 
erroi's,  the  only  authority  on  the  genealogy  of  a  famil}'  once 
very  prominent  in  New  England. 

Being  descended  himself  from  one  of  the  younger  sons  of 
(,'ornelius  Waldo,  and  having  collected  considerable  material 
ot  his  own  branch,  which  disproved  some  of  the  pul)lished 
statements,  the  writer  began,  in  18913,  a  more  thorough  inves- 
tigation of  the  family,  with  no  idea  of  publication.  The  Avork 
was  interrui)ted  by  a  two  years'  absence  in  Europe,  during 
which  a  brief  time  was  devoted  to  searching  the  wills  at 
Somerset  House,  in  London,  for  a  clue  to  the  English  parent- 
age of  Cornelius  Waldo,  but  with  onl}'  negative  results.  On 
returning  to  America,  in  189(),  the  work  was  resumed  and  the 
determination  formed  to  attempt  a  complete  compilation  of 
the  family  genealogy  with  a  view  to  ))ul)lication.  A  brief 
l)reruiHnary  account  of  the  first  four  generations  was  p>ublished 
in  the  liegister  in  1898,  of  which  a  reprint  was  widely  dis- 
tril>utt,'d  an)o))g  the  l.iiuily  in  oi'der  to  awaken  interest,  and 
the  present  l>ook  is  the  result.  Mr.  Hall's  book  was  used  as 
a  basis,  and  proved  of  inv;dua))le  assistance,  probably  shorten

m^  (ho  \voik  ))y  several  years.  Every  date  and  fact  in  it  has, 
however,  been  verilicHl  ^vhere  it  has  })een  jiossible  so  to  do,  ;ind 
for  this  purpose,  and  to  comj)h}te  the  records,  the  ^vriter  has 
personally  examined  town  and  county  registers  in  all  the  Xew 
England  States  and  in  Ne^v  York,  made  transcripts  of  every 
gravestone  inscription  iclating  to  members  of  the  fansily  in 
the  towns  visited,  and  corresponded  with  members  of  the 
family  in  every  St^itc  in  the  Union  and  in  many  foreign  coun- 
tries, and,  when  possible,  had  pei'sonal  interviews  with  them. 
The  work  was  begun  under  the  impression  that  the  family  is  a 
small  one,  and  with  the  idea  of  tracing  every  male  descendant 
and  of  bringing  the  female  lines  down  to  the  names  and  births 
of  the  grandchildren  of  ^V'lddo  women.  It  is  a  surprise  to  find 
that  this  has  extended  the  Avork  to  two  volumes,  and  that  too 
while  several  lines  have  not  been  traced.  It  is  a  question  if  it 
would  not  have  been  better  to  have  limited  the  work  to  the 
male  lines,  but  the  juaterial  having  been  o])tained  it  seemed 
best  to  print  it. 

The  arrangement  and  notation  adopted,  while  neither  origi- 
nal nor  cntircl}'  novel,  will  be  unfamiliar  to  most.  It  is  the 
decimal  letter  system,  explained  in  the  JYeiv  England  His- 
torical and  Genealogical  Register,  vol.  li.,  p.  305,  and  used, 
hitherto,  so  far  as  is  known,  only  in  the  Upton  Family 
llecovd.  In  departing  from  the  excellent  system  knov.n  as 
the  "  l^egisler  Plan  "  the  v>'riter  feels  that  ho  owes  an  apology 
to  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  of  which 
he  has  the  honor  to  be  a  meml)er,  which  reconnnends  and  uses 
that  system.  Believing,  however,  that  the  letter  system  by  its 
simplicity,  facility  of  expansion,  and  definition  of  relation- 
ships, presents  certain  advant^iges  to  the  compiler  which  no 
other  system  gives,  and  having  tested  its  merits  and  learned 
its  faults  from  the  compiler's  point  of  view  by  six  years"  use, 
the  writer  decided  to  use  it  in  the  printed  book,  both  to  intro- 
duce and  reconnnend  it  to  genealogists  and  to  ascertain  if  it 
is  sulliciently  sim})le  foi"  the  understanding  and  use  of  the 
general  public.  Should  the  latter  })oint  not  be  established,  the 
system  can  still  be  recommeiuled  to  genealogists  for  cotnpiling

llicir  work  and  it  can  l^e  easily  changed  to  the  "Register  Plan  " 
jor  publication.  It  has  l^oen  reduced  to  its  .sini})lest  form, 
rejecting  the  variations  suggested  in  tlie  liegister  and  in  the 
l:j)(on  Family  Record  as  confusing  and,  practical!}',  of 
liUle  value. 

The  system  may  be  briefly  explained  as  follows  : — The 
curliest  immigrant  of  the  family  is  lettered  a,  his  children  are 
K'ttered  aa,  ab,  ac,  etc.  The  children  of  the  oldest  child 
are  lettered  aaa,  aah,  aac,  e/c,  of  the  second  child  aba, 
vJib,  abc,  etc.,  and  so  on  through  each  succeeding  genera- 
tion, each  descendant  having  as  many  letters  as  the  number 
of  the  genei'ation  to  which  lie  belongs  and  the  letters  show- 
ing exactly  his  line  of  descent.  Should  there  have  been 
nioi-e  than  one  innnigrant  wdiose  descendants  are  traced,  they 
should  be  lettered  a,  b,  c,  d,  etc.,  and  their  descendants' 
Klters  will  always  begin  with  the  letter  of  tlieir  respective 
ancestors,  thus  showing  at  a  glance  to  which  family  they 
belong.  Or  if,  as  in  the  jn-esent  case,  there  is  but  one  innni- 
grant ancestor,  to  save  space  and  labor  the  first  letter  being 
always  a,  may  be  omitted,  the  letters  in  such  case  being 
always  one  less  than  the  number  of  the  generation.  For  ex- 
ain))le,  take  the  last  name  in  the  present  work,  Lulu  ?vlal)el 
Waldo,  bdag  acaab.  For  convenience  in  counting,  a  space, 
corresponding  to  a  decimal  point,  is  left  afler  the  fourth  letter. 
'J'here  being  nine  letters  and  the  first  letter,  a,  having  been 
omitted,  which  Avould  make  ten,  she  belongs  to  the  tenth  gen- 
<'ration  and  is  descended  from  the  second  child,  b,  of  the 
innnigrant  ancestor.  To  look  up  any  of  her  immediate  ances- 
tors it  is  only  necessary  to  leave  off  a  suliicient  number  of 
h'tters,  and  to  turn  to  the  person  indicated  by  those  remaining, 
without  resorting  to  the  index  or  to  the  intervening  ancest(n-s. 
For  instance,  to  learn  the  i-ecord  of  her  great-grandfather, 
leave  off  the  last  three  letters,  aab,  representing  her  grand- 
lather,  her  father  and  herself,  and  there  is  left  bday  ac,  which  is 
lound  to  be  Elijah  Vv^aido,  on  p)age  523.  For  ease  of  rctcrence 
the  index  letters  are  printed  at  the  top  of  every  page  and  they 
are  also  given   in  the   index.      To  indicate  that  the   recoid  of 


VI  WALDO  GENEALOGY. 

any  person  Ikls  l)ecn  ciirricd  forward  to  flic  succcodinir  i^onora- 
tion,  the  index  Icttei'S  of  such  i)erson  ;iro  i)riiite(l  in  ronian  let- 
ters, all  otiiers  being  in  ihiJks.  In  the  case  of  female  lines,  (o 
save  space,  only  the  final  letter  has  ])cen  civen  to  the  chihlien 
and  <.n-andchildivn,  and  to  obtain  tlie  full  index  letters  it  is 
necessary  to  aflix  these  final  lettei's  to  the  index  letters  of  tlie 
maternal  ancestor.  For  example,  see  Kebecca  'Waldo,  hdam, 
p.  21t),  who  married  Frederick  AVardner.  Their  fourth  cliild 
was,  (?,  Calvin,  who  had,  a,  Ann.  The  index  letter  of  Calvin 
is  hdam  d,  and  of  Ann,  bdam  da.  The  hyphenatintr  of 
Christian  names  is  a,  fad  of  the  writer,  which  he  hardly  expects 
othei's  will  adopt. 

An  attempt  has  been  made  to  make  the  index  a  model  one. 
Every  individual  is  sej)arately  named,  full  middle  names  lieimj 
given  Avhen  known,  and  all  mai-ried  women  l)eing  indexed  under 
their  married  and  maiden  names.  All  descendants  of  Corne- 
lius Waldo  being  indexed  both  by  letter  and  by  page,  not 
only  Aviil  errors  be  largely  corrected,  but  a  glance  will  show 
whether  any  individual  is  a  member  of  the  family  or  not,  and 
relationships  are  readily  determined  without  recourse  to  the 
text.  Tt  is  hoped  that  the  added  convenience  of  this  system 
will  offset  the  disadvantage  of  the  many  extra  pages  required. 
The  index  of  pLu-es  will  also,  it  is  thought,  ])e  worth  the  space 
it  takes. 

It  may  be  thought  that  the  reference  to  authorities  has  been 
carried  to  exti-emes,  but,  it  is  believed,  that  errors  will  be 
more  easily  detected  if  the  authority  for  every  statement  is 
explicitly  given.  For  the  transcripts  from  official  rccoi-ds  and 
for  errors  in  quoting  from  i)ublished  books  or  in  copying  from 
manuscript  letters  the  comj)iler  is  himself  responsible.  In  all 
cases  he  has  followed  the  given  spelling  of  both  Christian  and 
family  names,  not  feeling  it  his  duty  to  alter  either  official  or 
family  records  even  when  it  seemed  likely  that  a  mistake  had 
been  made.  In  the  names  of  toM'ns  the  orthography  adoi)ted 
in  the  latest  number  of  tlie  Umlcd  States  Postal  Guide  has 
been  generally  followed,  but  there  are  some  exceptions,  as  an 
earlier  nundier  of  that  publication  was  first  used,  Iw^fore  it  was 


pri<:fa(^e.  vii 

(liscovcrcd  that  within  a  few  years  many  diangcs  in  spcllin'^ 
h.'hl  ])vvn  made. 

To  all  niein])er.s  of  the  family  who  have  kindlv  assisted,  by 
icrordsand  material,  in  the  prej'aration  of  tliis  work,  aeknowl- 
edpnent  is  dne  and  is  hereby  tendered.  It  is  impossible 
here  to  mention  them  by  name.  Credit  has  been  sfiven  to 
each  in  the  pro})cr  jilacc.  Ks}ieeial  mention  slionld  be  made, 
liouever,  of  Eev.  Milton  AValdo,  Kev.  Levi  Fay  Waldo  and 
Charles  I''.d\vard  Waldo,  Esq.,  for  the  assist;incc  and  encour- 
airtjnent  they  have  given. 

The  mannscript  of  the  book  will  be  jn-eserved,  and  the 
writer  will  be  haj^py  to  make  in  it  such  eorrcctions  and  addi- 
tions as  memliers  of  the  family  ma}'  send,  from  time  to  time, 
hoping'thus  eventually  to  ol)ta.in  the  rceords  of  such  as  he 
h:is  been  unable  to  trace,  which  at  some  later  date  mav  be 
published  as  a  supplement  to  the  presejit  work.

INTRODUC'TION 


rilKADlTlON,  that  most  unreliable  authority  for  genealogical 
-i-  assertion,  lias  generall}',  both  iu  Esiglaucl  nncl  America,  ascribed 
tlic  origin  of  the  Waldo  family  to  Pel  or  V.'aldo  of  Lyons,  France,  or 
to  one  of  his  brothers.  Peter  Waldo,  or  "Waldus  or  Valdez,  a 
merchnnt  of  Lyons  in  the  latter  haU'  of  the  twelfth  century,  is  by 
most  modern  authorities  called  the  founder  of  the  sect  of  the  Wal- 
denses,  though  by  some  their  origin  is  given  a  much  earlier  date.  It 
is  certain,  however,  that  ^^'aldo  did  found  a  protcstant  sect  in  Lyons, 
liaving  been,  it  is  said,  turned  to  spiritual  things  by  the  sudden  death, 
in  1173,  of  a  friend  with  whom  he  was  conversing  in  the  street.  He 
had  a  vernacular  translation  made  of  a  portion  of  the  Scriptures  and 
preached  his  views  in  the  streets  of  Lyons,  his  followers  styling 
themselves  ''The  Poor,''  and  sometimes  being  called  "  Leonist;^," 
from  Lyons,  or  "  Sabatati,"  from  the  fact  that  they  wore  sabots.  In 
1181  Waldo  was  condemned  by  the  Council  of  Verona  and  anathema- 
tized by  Pope  Lucius  111.  The  date  of  his  death  is  unknown.  He  is 
said  by  some  to  have  retired  into  Dauphiny,  by  others  into  Picardy. 
Whether  he  was  the  founder  of  tlie  Waldenses  or  not,  there  can  be 
little  doubt  that  he  was  not  himself  the  founder  of  the  Waldo  family 
of  the  present  day.  All  modern  authorities  agree  that  after,  as  we 
may  say,  experiencing  religion  he  was  induced  to  sell  his  goods  and 
give  to  the  poor;  and,  in  furtherance  of  tliat  object,  he  first  provided 
for  his  wife  and  his  two  daughters.  No  mention  is  anywhere  made  of 
any  son  or  sons,  and  there  is  not  the  slightest  evidence  that  be  ever 
had  any. 

In  Hasted's  History  of  Kent  ^  is  the  following  note  concerning  Sir 
Timothy  Waldo,  Knt. :  — 

"lie  is  descended  from  Thomas  Waldo,  of  Lions  in  the  Kingdom 
of  Fr;ince;  one  of  the  first  who  publicly  opposed  the  doctrines  of  the 
church  of  Rome,  of  whom  there  is  full  account  in  the  Atlas  Geograph., 
Vol.  ii.  and  ^^lorelaud's  History  of  the  Evangelical  Churches  of  Pied- 
iiKjut.      One  of    his  descendants,   in   the   reign   of    Q.    Elizabeth,   to

escape  the  persecutions  of  tlie  Duke  D'Alva,  came  over  to  P^nglanil, 
where  he  and  his  descendants  afterwards  setfleil."  In  quoting  this 
extract,  ]\[r.  ISlorris-Cliarlcs  Jones,  in  his  valnal)h:  Init  often  erroneous 
"  Notes  respecting  the  Family  of  Wahlo,"  adds  the  following  note, 
on  the  authority  of  Rev.  J.  C.  Gaussier,  Ih'itish  CliapLain  at  Lyons 
in  1S63: — ''Al  first  sight  the  name  Tlioinas  would  appear  to  be  a 
misprint  for  Peter ;  but  it  seems  that  the  celebrated  Peter  \\'aldo  of 
J^yons  was  never  married,  l)ul  he  left  at  least  two  brothers,  one  of 
wliom  died  a  galley  slave,  and  the  other  on  his  way  to  Bohemia  ; 
where  also  Peter  Waldo  died  in  1179."  Had  ]Mr.  Jones  consulted  the 
Atlas  Geographus,  referred  to  l)y  Hasted,  he  vrould  have  seen  that 
Waldo  is  only  called  "  Thomas"  in  the  index  and  not  in  the  context, 
and  that  "Thomas"  is,  in  fact,  an  error  for  Peter.  As  for  Mr. 
Gaussier's  other  statements  the  writer  can  find  no  confirmation  of  them. 

From  the  fact  that  in  the  tirnc  of  Peter  Waldo  family  names  were 
unknown  and  that  the  name  Vfaldo  or  Valdez  was  most  probably 
derived  from  the  birthplace  of  Peter,  and  did  not  snrvive  him  as  a 
family  cognomen,  it  is  more  than  likely  th-at  the  modern  family 
acquired  its  name  in  a  similar  way  at  a  later  date,  possibly  from  the 
fact  that  its  founder  was  a  member  of  the  famous  Waldensian  sect. 
It  is  certainly  today  a  family  name  in  several  districts  of  the  Gcrm.an 
empire,  and  it  is  more  than  proliable  that  the  Eiiglish  family,  from 
which  there  can  be  little  doubt  that  the  American  family  is  descended, 
is  by  origin  Genua n  rather  than  French,  unless  it  is  Anglo-Saxon, 
some  evidenct!  of  which  will  appear  later.  There  has  been  no  attempt 
made  by  the  conqnler  of  the  present  work  to  trace  the  ancestry  of 
Cornelius  Walilo,  the  founder  of  the  American  branch,  in  England. 
and  this  will  remain  a  ]-)leasant  occuj)ation  for  some  member  of  the

Mr.  Jones,  in  his  '^  Notes,"  says: — "In  a  house  belonging  to  one 
of  the  representatives  of  the  Waldo  family,  .situate  at  IMitcham,  in 
Surrey,  there  still  exists  a  handson.ie  carved  oak  wainscoting,  v.ith  a 
curious  oak  chimney-piece,  the  cornice  of  the  wainscot  being  a  ])road 
border  of  oak,  richly  carved  with  acorns,  oak  leaves  and  grapes.  The 
name  'IVter  Waldo'  is  cut,  v.ifh  a  date  ir)?"),  or  3,  the  last  liguie 
being  dillicull  to  dt'ei|)hi-r.  This  Peter  Waldo  may  possibly  have  been 
the  first  of  the  fuuiily  who  came  to  England."  This  would  easily 
account  for  the  tradition,  so  persistent  both  in  the  English  and 
American  branches,  that  the  family  is  descended  from  Peter  Waldo, 
and  it  would  take  but  little  imagination  to  transform  the  Peter  of 
England  into  the  celebrated  Peter  of  J^yons. 


INTRODT'CTION.  o 

This  lii-st  Waldo  was,  on  the  authority  of  ^Ir.  Jones,  Uvice  married, 
iiis  lirst  wife  being  named  Jane,  by  whom  he  inid  three  sons  and  two 
daughters,  viz.  :  — 

i.     Lawkknck,  Avhoso  family  has  been  traced,  and  "who  ■vvus  certainly 

not  the  ancestor  of  the  American  branch. 
ii.     .Tank,  uho  married  a  Prysell. 
iii.     EuzABKTH,  "who  married  a  Walker, 
iv.     lloBKRT,    whose    family   has   been    partially   traced,   and   who   is 

piobably  not  the  ancestor  of  the  American  branch. 
V.     Bkian,  of  wliom  nothing  has  Ijecu  learned. 

His  second  wife  was  a  La"\vrenc'e,  by  "whom  he  had  three  sons,  viz. : 

i.     Wn.LiAM,  of  Avhoni  nothing  has  been  learned, 

ii.     llOBEHT  (evidently  an   error,  as  there   would   not  liave  been  two 
sons  named  Robert).     He  is  said  to  have  had  u  son,   L. 
Waldo, 
iii.     Thomas,  of  wliom  notliinii"  is  knov/n. 

The  eldest  son,  Lawrence,  was  ancestor  of  Sir  Edward  "Waldo,  who 
was  knighted  by  King  Charles  IL,  Oct.  29,  1677,  and  who  bore  for 
his  arms — "  Or,  a  btnd  azure,  hotivcen  three  leopards'  faces,  gide>>." 
Me  was  also  ancestor  of  Sir  Timothy  Waldo,  who  was  knighted  April 
12,  1769,  and  who  bore  for  his  arm-^—^^ Argent,  a  bend  azure,  beticeen 
three  leopard/  lieads,  gnles."  These  arms,  or  some  modification  of 
thejn,  are  sometimes  claimed  by  members  of  the  American  branch, 
■vvith  how  much  justification  will  be  seen  if  one  remembers  that  Cor- 
nelius Waldo,  the  first  of  the  American  line,  came  to  New  England 
before  16-16,  thirty-one  years  before  Sir  Edward  Waldo  was 
knighted. 

One  of  the  younger  sons  of  the  first  English  Waldo  may  have  been 
the  ancestor  of  our  Cornelius  Waldo,  and  of  these  Thomas  is  perhaps 
the  most  likely,  as  Cornelius,  as  will  be  seen  later,  had  a  brother  of 
that  name.  It  is,  however,  entirely  possible  that  the  American  faniily 
has  a  wholly  diti'erent  origin,  and  as  the  latter  part  of  Jones' 
"Notes"  are  of  interest  as  pertinent  to  this  question,  and  maybe 
Useful  to  the  future  investigator,  the  following  is  quoted  verbatim  from 
that  monograph,  no  attempt  having  been  made  to  correct  or  verify  the 
statements  therein  made,  and  with  all  due  acknowledgments  to  Mr. 
Jones  : — 

"  Tiiere  are  several  families  in  Cireat  Britain,  which  traditionally 
spring  from  that  of  Waldo,  and  bear  arms  very  similar. 

"The  Walijiks  of  Hendersyde,   near  Kelso,    and   the  Waldys  of 


^  .WALDO  GENEALOGY. 

EccIesclilTe,    Diirliain,   who  Imee   a  common   tlescent,    both   bear  for 
arms : —

Icojmnh'  faces  of  the  second. 

"  Crest — A  dore  rising  from  a  mural  cron^n  proper. 
"  ^loiio—'  Fi delis: 

"  The  arms  differ  from  tliat  of  the  Waldos'  only  in  the  additional 
charge  of  a  '  pelican  in  piety,'  and  the  tincture  of  the  leopards'  faces 
being  azure,  instead  of  gules. 

"  The  name  of  the  Waldies  (of  Hendersydc)  was  variously  spelt 
Waitho,  Watho,  Waltho,  and  Waldy,  and  sometimes  it  occurs  in  the 
same  document  written  in  two  ditt'crent  ways ;  and  the  tradition  in  the 
family  is  that  they  were  descended  from  that  of  Waldo.  It  api)eai-s 
probable  that  one  of  the  family  was  possessed  of  tlie  original  family 
estate  so  far  back  as  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII.  ;  therefore  they  must, 
if  derived  fi'om  the  Waldos,  be  descended  from  an  earlier  member  of 
that  family,  than  the  one  who  came  to  England  from  the  Netherlands 
iu  the  reign  of  Elizabeth. 

"The  Hendersyde  line  is  now  represented  by  John  Waldie  of 
Hendersydc  Tark,  co.  Roxburgh,  and  Kingswood,  co.  Noilhumboland, 
Esq.,  J. P.  and  D.L.  for  those  counties. 

"  Ois  uncle,  Robert  Waldie,  was  school-fellow  of  Sir  Walter  Scott. 
Iu  Lockhart's  '  Life  of  Scott,'  mention  is  made  of  Robert  Waldie, 
and  his  mother,  a  quaker  lady.  His  sister,  Charlotte  Ann,  who 
married  Stephen  Eaton,  Esq.,  and  who  died  in  1859,  was  author  of 
several  works,  'At  Home  and  Abroad';  'Three  Days  in  Belgium,' 
&e.  His  younger  sister,  Jaiie,  who  married  GJeorge  Augustus  Watts, 
Esq.,  and  <lied  in  1826,  was  early  distinguished  for  her  taste  in 
literature  and  her  pencil,  being  the  author  of  '  Waterloo,  by  a  near 
Observer,'  and  '  Sketches  in  Italy.' 

"The  Waldysof  Egglcsclifle,  who  settled  in  Yorkshire  some  lAO 
years  ago,  have  spelt  their  name  variously  at  different  times.  First 
Waldoe  or  Widdie  iu  1579;  Waldoe  in  the  registers  of  the  parish  of 
Yarm,  Yorkshire,  in  1722;  again  Vv'aldie,  until  1741,  at  which  time 
the  spelling  of  Waldy  was  a<lo[)ted,  and  has  since  continued.  The 
late  John  Waldy  of  Yarm,  Es(j.,  married  Margaret,  only  child  of 
Richard  Yarmon<lsway,  of  Great  Burdon,  Esq.,  who  was  lineally 
descended  from  Ranulphus  de  Yarmoridsway,  from  whom  Bishop 
Hugh  de  Pudsey  obtained  the  whole  Ville  of  Yarmondsway  for  the 
foundation  of  Sherburn  Hospital.  A  curious  account  of  this  transac- 
tion is  giveu  under  the  head  of  Sherburn    Hospital,    in  Sir  Bernard

INTRODUCTION.  O

wpiostMitod  by  the  IJev.  Richard  AV'aldy,  M.A.,  Clerk  of  Ilaughton  le

Durham. 

''  The  family  of  Walden  or  ^Yaldcw  may  also,  perhaps,  ])e  classed 
with  those  having  traditionally  a  common  origin  with  the  Waldos. 
Tliey  bore  for  their  arms,  '^4/-,  a  bend,  az.  beficeeii  three  leopards' 
Iicdd--^,  sable.'  the  ^bend  az..,'^  as  we  are  informed,  ha^'ing  been  added 
in  the  fifteenth  century. 

"  It  has  been  suggested  that  it  is  not  improbable  that  the  ancient 
coat  armour,  from  which  that  of  Waldo,  as  well  as  that  of  otiinr 
kindred  families,  was  derived,  was 

"  '■Ar.  three  leopards'  heads,  sable.'  ^ 

"  This  coat  of  arms  is  stated  in  Dugdale's  '  Warwickshire,'  page 
722,  (plate,)  to  be  in  the  windows  of  the  chancel  of  the  church  of 
Alspath  a7/as  iMeredon,  Warwickshire,  and  to  belong  to  the  '  autient 
family  of  Waldeive,'  which  name  is  variously  spelt.  The  arms  are 
also  cut  in  the  beams  of  Meredon  Hall.  —  (Ibid.,  p.  7oi. ) 

"  Dugdale,  in  his  account  of  the  parish  of  Allspath  (Ibid..,  p.  721,) 
slates: — 'Within  the  precincts  of  this  parish  had  the  family  of 
\\'alleif  ancientlv  a  seat,  which  continued  in  that  line  divers  descents, 


'  "  Tlie  origin  of  tlie  bend,  as  given  by  Guilliui  ('  Displaij  of  Jf^rahln/,''  p.  S-j,)  is  curious. 
•.V  liend,'  he  suys,  'according  to  .some  Annouiists  doth  repie^ciit  a  hukicr  set  aslope  iii 
iliis  niuruier  to  scale  the  walls  of  any  castle  or  city,  and  betokeneth  the  bearer  to  have 
I'l'cn  <ine  of  the  first  that  mounted  uj^on  the  enemies'  walls.' 

"This  IS  borne  out  by  the  explanation  by  Guillim  (Jbid.,  p.  OG,)  of  the  'bend  crenelle,' 
viz.:— 'After  this  manner  soliliers,  in  default  of  scaling  ladders,  useil  to  nick  or  score  a 
pii'ci,'  of  timber  with  their  swords  (for  want  of  Ijotter  tools,)  and  so  found  means  to 
;.sccnd  the  walls,  and  surprise  the  enemies.' 

"  I'o  this  may  be  added  the  somewhat  remarkable  circumstance,  which  has  been 
i.lisi-rved,  viz. :— That  a  very  considerable  number  of  families,  whose  names  have  the 
^vII.iIjIc  'Wal'  in  their  composition,  bear  iii  their  coat  armour  the  ordinary  of  a  bend. 
i'^n-  instance,  amongst  the  names  in  lUirko's  'Armoury,'  beginning  \vith'  Wal,'  there  are 
im  less  than  tifty-cight  families,  of  twenty-three  different  names,  having  a  bend  in  their 
ai  !iis. 

"  These  circumstances  give  some  colour  to  (iuillim's  statement,  or  at  least  would  lead  to 
the  inference,  that  the  name  anil  the  arms  were  taken  in  jiart  from  the  same  circumstance 
ill  the  jirevious  career  of  the  tlrst  liearer  of  the  arms. 

"  T'hese  three  circumstanees  give,  it  is  conceived,  a  more  probable  solution  of  the  origin 
"f  the  bend  than  the  modern  e.vidanation,  that  it  rc|)resents  a  scarf  or  shouUlcr  belt. —

"In  Dugdale's  'Warwickshire,'  page  705,  mention  is  made  of  a 
reputed  manor  of  Hurley,  'wherein  John  Waldiff,  Esquii-e.  died

''From  the  above  it  ajipears  that  this  family,  whose  name  is 
variously  spelt  Waldeif,  Waldeive,  Waldcyffe,  NValdeyvc,  Waldiff, 
and  Waldyve,  was  settled  in  Warwickshire,  in  the  reiijjn  of  Ilcnry  111. 
(Ihe  middle  of  the  thirteenth  century),  and  from  thence  has  continued 
there  through  the  AVillingtons  to  the  present  time — a  i)eriod  of  six 
centuries. 

"  With  respect  to  the  name  Oerald,  that  Christian  name  was  borne 
by  the  grandson  (in  il  Henry  VIII.),  and  by  the  son  (in  Henry  II. 's 
time)  of  luo,  the  first  who  assumed  the  name  of  '  de  Alspath,'  and 
who  was  a  descendant  of  Nicholas,  who  farmed  Alsiiath  under  the 
Conqueror.  Alspath  was  possessed  by  the  Countess  Godiva  in 
l<>hvard  the  Confessor's  time,  whence  Dugdalc  concludes  that  her 
husband,  P^arl  Leofric,  Earl  of  Mercia,  had  been  ov»-ncr  prior  to  the 
Conquest. 

''The  origin  of  tlic  name  and  family  of  Waldeyve  is  an  interesting 
subject  of  inquiry,  and  we  would  add  a  few  notes,  which,  although 
fragmentary  and  disjointed,  may,  to  some  extent,  indicate  their 
possible  derivation,  and  certainly  will  evidence  the  antiquity  of  the 
root  of  the  name. 

"  We  have  pointed  out  the  dilTerent  orthography  of  the  name,  which 
is  not  without  significance,  in  an  inquiry  going  back  to  the  rude  ages 
of  our  Saxon  and  Danish  progenitors. 

"  It  seems  probable  that  the  name  '  Waldeive  '  (if  not  the  family), 
vvas  derived  from  Waltheof,  sometimes  called  '  Waldevc '  and  in 
L;itin,  Walthenus  and  Waldevus,  and  possilily  AValdus. 

"  The  first  person  whom  we  have  found  bearing  the  name  'Wal- 
theof,' is  Waltheof  (called  the  Klder),  the  third  Earl  of  Nortluimber- 
land,  who  was  living  about  the  3'car  075.^  His  origin  is  not  stated, 
l>u.t  it  seems  probable  that  he  was  a  descendant  of  Osulf,  the  first 
1-arl,  who  is  said  to  have  Ijeen  a  deposed  King  of  Norwa}'. 

"The  next  is  Waltheof,  the  llth  Earl  of  Northumberland,  who  was 
><'n  of  Earl  Siward  (the  8th  Earl)  by  his  wife,  Elfreda,  daughter  of 
Karl  Aldred  (the  Oth  Earl).  ^Valtheof  was  the  last  of  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  ICarls,  and  married  .luditli,  the  niece  of  William  the  Conqueror,

chiefly  on  the  evidence  of  iiis  v;ife,  Judith,  and  was  beheaded  at 
Winchester,  a.  d.  1075.  In  Iceland's  'Itinerary,'  vol.  vii.,  pp.  14G- 
14t),  there  is  a  long  statrnicnt  respecting  him,  ])eginning  •  Epitaphium 
Waldevi  Comitis.'  His  daughter,  Maud,  married  her  second  cousin, 
David  I.  King  of  Scotland,  wliose  grandfatlier,  Duncan,  King  of 
Scotland,  married  the  sister  of  Earl  Siward.  and  whose  son,  Henry, 
claimed  the  earldom  of  Xortliumberland,  as  grandson  of  Waldeoff. 

"The  next  is  Waldeoff,  Earl  of  Dunbar,'  descended  from  Cos- 
l)atriek,  the  loth  Earl,  who  iled  into  Scotland  a.d.  lOGG,  with  Edgar 
Atheling  and  other  Saxon  nobles,  and  who  was  presented  by  the  King 
of  Scotland  with  the  manor  of  Dunbar.  This  Cospatrick  was  grandson 
of  Ucthred,  (the  -Ith  Etirl,  who  married  Elgiva,  daughter  of  King 
Ethelred)  and  son  of  Aldred  (the  6th  Earl,)  whose  daughter, 
Ulfreda.  married  Earl  Siward.  Waltheof  (P^arl  Siward's  son)  would 
therefore  be  Cosj^atrick's  first  cousin. 

"  The  second  son  of  Cospatrick  (the  loth  Earl)  was  Cospatrick, 
Avho  witnessed  the  foundation  charter  of  Holyrood  House,  by  David  ]. 
in  1128,  and  v,ho  died  in  ll;3!),  leaving  a  sou,  Cospatrick,  who  made 
donations  to  the  monastery  of  Kelso,  of  the  patronage  of  the 
churches  of  Home,  Lambden,  and  Greenlaw.  He  died  in  1147,  leaving 
four  sons,  one  of  v,-honi  was  'Ucthred,  the  undoubtt-d  predecessor  of 
the  Dundas  family  of  Dundas,  from  whom  Thomas,  Earl  of  Zetland 
descends.'  Tlie  eldest  son,  Cospatrick,  had  two  sous,  the  eldest  of 
whom  was  Waldeve,  Earl  of  Dunbar,  who  granted  a  charter  to  Helias 
Dundas,"^  in  1145,  which  charter  commences  '  Waldevus  filius  Cos- 
patricii,'  among  the  witnesses  to  which  there  is  the  name  '  Waldcvo

various  manors  in  Cumberland, ■"'  to  this  Waldeve,  Earl  of  Dunbar, 
but  the  latter  died  in  1145,  and  his  line  ended  in  an  heiress.

Paul,  two  stoiics  of  Christ's  Sepulchre,  and  jjail  of  the  holy  cross, — 
all  of  v.-hieh  were  liroughl  from  Jerusalem  (as  stated)  by  Waldieve,  a 
son  of  the  Earl  of  Dunbar,' 

"The  second  Abbot  of  ]Mailros-  (Melrose),  who  died  in  1159,  was 
Waldevus,  son  of  Simon  de  St.  Liz,  and  canonized  by  Pope  Alexander 
III.

performance  of  the  treaty  for  the  release  of  King  William  from  his 
captivity  in  England  in  117-1. 

"  Froin  the  foregoing''  it  appears  that  the  name  Walthcof,  or 
"Waldeve,  has  occurred  frequently  in  the  same  family  during  the  tenth. 
eleventh,  and  twelfth  centuries. 

"The  Waldieves  of  AVarwickshire  have  been  traced  up  to  the 
middle  of  the  thirteenth  century. 

"The  intcrvnl  of  three  quarters  of  a  century  we  are  not  idJe  to  fill 
up,  nor  can  we  trace  the  derivation,  although  not  improbaljle,  of  the 
latter  to  the  former. 

"  lu  conclusion,  we  would  state  that  the  name  AYaltheof,  in  its 
Latin  form  Waldenus,  may  perhaps  be  detected  in  the  following 
extract  from  Stowe's  '  I'ranscript'  •'' : —

"But  the  name  may  have  a  still  earlier  origin.  It  may  be  derived 
from  Duke  Wada  ^  a  Saxon  chief  of  great  power,  who,  in  794, 
resided  at  i\rulgravc  Castle,  and  fell  upon  and  slew  King  Etbelred  ; 
and  afterwards  Wada  was  forced  to  seek  shelter  at  jMulgrave,  where 
he  died.

"'Tliis  Anlulplie,  Kin;.:  "f  Northumboilaiiile, 

Slowe  A\'aliU'  his  duke,  that  a;^iii  hiui  was  rebel,'  &c." 

From  C'jipt.  John  Smith's  "  The  Gcnerall  Historic  of  Virginifi,  New 
Pmgland  and  the  Summer  Isles,"  -  we  learn  that  there  arrived  in 
Virginia  Willi  the  "second  supply,"  which  landed  Sept.  10,  1608, 
"one  Captaine  Kichard  Waldo  and  Captaine  [Peter]  Wynne,  two 
auncient  Souldiers  and  valiant  Gentlemen,  hut  3^et  ignorant  of  the 
business,"  -svho  were  added  to  the  Council.  Waldo  was  highly  thouglit 
of  by  Capt.  Smith  and  accompanied  him  on  several  of  his  excursions ; 
but  when,  in  December,  1608,  "the  President  seeing  the  procrastina- 
ting of  ti)no,  was  no  course  to  live,  resolved  with  Captaine  Waldo 
(whom  he  knew  to  be  su?'e  in  time  of  need)  to  surprise  Powhatan," 
he  left  ^Valdo  behind  with  orders  to  be  ready  to  second  his  adventure. ^ 
The  result  is  thus  described  by   Smith  :—"  Now  iu  the  meanewhiJe 

since  our  departure,  this  hapned  at  our  Fort" "Master 

Scrivner  having  received  Letters  from  England  to  make  himselfe  cither 
Caisar  or  nothing,  he  began  to  decline  iu  his  affection  to  Captaine 
Smith,  that  ever  regarded  him  as  himselfe,  and  was  willing  to  crosse 
the  surprising  of  Powhatan.  Some  certaine  dales  after  the  Presidents 
departure  [/.  e.  Jan.  7,  1008-9]  he  would  needs  goe  visit  the  Isle  of 
Hogs,  and  tookc  with  him  Captaine  Waldo  (though  the  President  had 
appointed  him  to  be  ready  to  second  his  occasions)  with  Mr.  Anthony 
[Gosuoll]  and  eight  others;  but  so  violent  was  the  wind  (that  exti'eme 
frozen  time)  that  the  ]Joate  sunke,  but  where  or  how  none  doth  know. 
The  Skiff  was  much  overladen,  and  would  scarce  have  lived  in  that 
extreme  tempest  had  she  ]>eeu  empty:  but  by  no  persv,ration  he  could 
be  diverted,  though  both  ^Valdo  and  an  hundi-ed  others  doubted  as  it 
happned."  ^ 

This  Picliard  Waldo  was  undoubtedly  the  lirst  of  the  name  to  come 
to  America;  but  his  family  is  unknown,  and  ho  evidently  left  no 
descondauts,  at  least  in  Virginia,  lie  may  have  beeu  no  relation  of 
Cornelius  Waldo,  the  first  of  the  American  branch,  or  even  of  the 
family  whose  line  is  partially  traced  by  Mr.  Jones  in  his  "Notes,"  iu 
which  family  neitlier  the  name  of  Kichard  nor  that  of  Cornelius  is 
once  to  be  found.

INTHODUCTION.  11 

Wnldo  at  li)swicli,  tlu>re  is,  with  one  exception, i  no  evidence  that 
others  of  the  name  came  to  America ;  and  during  tliat  period,  it  i.s 
supposed  that  the  few  Waldos  in  this  country  wiiose  descent  from 
Cornelius  cannot  be  traced,  were,  in  fact,  descended  from  him.  In 
some  cases  the  name  Walden  has  been  mistaken  for  Waldo  by  careless 
readers  of  our  records,  which  has  caused  some  confusion.  Since  1850 
several  families  of  the  name  of  Waldau  or  Waldow  have  immigrated 
to  America  from  Germany.  These  families  have  generally  adojited 
the  Knglish  spelling,  tliough  by  some  the  final  "  w  "  has  been  retained. 
They  are  mostly  settled  in  New  York  State  and  in  the  West.  It  is 
not  at  all  impossible  that  they  have  a  common  origin  with  the  English 
family  of  Waldo,  and  this  would  be  an  interesting  matter  foi-  an 
investigation ;  to  be  pursued,  hov.'cver,  more  easily  in  Europe  than  in 
America. 

'  .See  Appendix,  No.  V2. 


FlllST  GENERATION. 


CoKN'ELius  Waldo,  the  founder  of  (ho  American  branch  of  tlie 
family,  was  born  about  1G21,  probably  in  England,  and  died  Jan.  3, 
1700-1,  at  Chelmsford,  Mass.'  Of  bis  parentage  nothing  lias  been 
learned,  and  the  only  clue  wo  have  to  it  is  contained  in  a  letter  from 
his  brotlicr-indaw,  John  Cogswell,  written  from  Londoii  to  liis  parents 
in  1()53,  which  contains  the  following  important  sentences: — "  I  have 
been  with  my  brother  Waldo's  friends;  hisMnother  lives  in  Berwick; 
his  Uncle  John  is  dead;  his  bi'other  Thomas  is  in  Iiehind,  &  his 
Uncle  Harrow  is  dead ;  ll\e  rest  are  in  health.  I  pray  be  earnest  with 
my  sister  Waldo  to  be  loving  &  tender  to  my  three  babes,  for  she 
knows  not  how  soon  hers  may  be  left  to  the  wide  world."-  From  this 
it  is  probable  that  Waldo's  family  were  living  in  or  near  London.  It 
has  generally  been  supposed  1-hat  the  l?erwick,  where  Mrs.  W'aldo  was 
then  living,  was  Berwick-on-Tweed ;  but  as  there  are -two  or  three 
parishes  called  Berwick  within  twenty-five  miles  of  "Westbury  Leigh, 
CO.  Wilts,  from  which  place  the  Cogswells  came  and  which  were 
probably  known  to  them,  it  is  not  at  all  unlikely  that  one  of  tliese 
parishes  is  meant,  and  that  the  family  of  Cornelius  Waldo  lived  near 
the  Cogswells  in  England,  and  were  old  acquaintances  and  friends. 
Tiie  familiarity  v>-ith  whicli  Jolm  Cogswell  mentions  the  relatives  of 
Cornelius,  and  the  fact  that  the  lirst  appearance  of  tlie  latter  in 
America  is  at  Ipswich,  where  he  became  the  "farmer"  of  John 
Cogswell,  Sr.,  whose  daughter  he  afterwards  married,  is  circumstantial 
evidence  of  an  earlier  acquaintance. 

It  is  not  known  in  v/hat  year  Cornelius  Vv^aldo  came  to  New  England. 
The  first  recorded  reference  to  him  that  has  been  found  is  tlie  following, 
in  P^ssex  County  Court  Ivccords,  vol.  ii.,  p.  213: — "At  a  Court  held 
in  Salem  ye  Cth  of  5lh  mo.   1G17   by   adjournment   Cornelius  Waldo

tliereuiKMi  The  Court  is  pleased  to  forbear  Leviinp;  ye  sd  fine  from  liini 
before  Ipswich  Court  next."  This  "brother  Thomas"  must  have 
returnerl  to  England,  since  he  was  iu  Ireland  in  ]Cr»8  when  John  Cogs- 
well was  in  London,  and  there  is  no  evidence  ttiat  he  ever  revisited 
America.  He  perhaps  lived  at  Strawberry  Bank,  now  Portsmouth, 
N.  II..  or  at  Hampton,  while  here,  since  a  deed  given  by  "Stephen 
Bachilor,  formerly  of  Hampton,  Norfolk  County  and  now  of  Straw- 
berry Bank,"  to  his  grandson,  Jolui  Sambourn  of  Hampton,  dated 
*'  20th  of  2d  lG-i7,"  was  witnessed  by  "  Tho  Waldo"  ;  and  a  deed  of 
same  date  from  John  Sambourn  of  Hampton  to  ^Villiam  Sambourn  of 
Hampton,  was  v^Mtnessed  by  "Thomas  AValdo."  ^ 

It  is  prol)able  that  Cornelius  settled  at  Ipswich  soon  sifter  his  arrival 
in  New  England,  if  he  did  not  go  there  immediately.  "Cogswells  in 
America,"  p.  15,  says  that  his  name  "first  appears  iu  the  town  recoi-ds 
in  this  entry  :  '  Coruelius  AValdo,  John  Cogswell's  farmer,'"  but  the 
writer  has  not  found  this  entry  iu  the  town  records,  but  has  found  him 
so  styled  in  a  list,  without  date  or  authority,  in  "  Ipswich  Antiquarian 
Papers,"  No.  xxxviii.,  aud  perhaps  iMr.  Jameson  also  found  it  there. 
He  certainly  could  not  have  been  a  ver}^  prominent  man  at  Ipswich 
and  held  no  town  ofiices.  His  name  appears  but  twice  iu  the  town 
records  ;   first  in  the  following  : — 

"  At  a  meeting  of  the  seaven  men  the  21st  of  ^>tr.rch  1G5.5.— John  Ga;^e, 
Coruulius  Waklo,  and  Ed  :  Ilarnidcu,  apoyrited  to  ^oe  the  yanibnlatioii  or 
runiiini;  of  the  lyiie  betweeue  this  Towiieaud  Gloster  and  to  apoyiiL  the  tyine, 
according  to  the  order  of  the  Court." 

And  again,  in  a  "  List  of  the  Inhabitants  that  have  shares  in  Plum 
Island,  Castle  Neck,  and  Hog  Island  with  their  shares  according  to 
the  Towne  order  the  II  of  Feb :  64 "  we  find  "share  and  a  half 
CJornelius  Waldo  Gl,  Cogsv/els  farme."  YNHiat  "01"  means  is 
unknown,  unless  it  refers  to  the  iiumber  of  acres.  Perhaps  "  farme" 
should  read  "  farmer,"  or  it  may  mean  that  he  was  living  on  Cogs- 
well's farm,  Tliis  entr}'  is  evidence  that  Waldo  was  living  at  Ipswich 
as  late  as  1GC4. 

Although  he  was  engaged  in  minor  lawsuits  three  several  times 
lietweon  1053  :uid  1GG3,  it  will  not  be  fair  to  assume  that  he  was  of  a 
I)articidarly  quarrelsome  or  litigious  disposition,  especially  as  in  two  of

Mr.  Waldo  married  Hannah,  daughter  of  John  and  Elizrd:>etb 
(Thompson)  Cog.'iwell  of  Ipswich,  Avho  was  born  in  1G24,  at  Westl  'ry 
Leigh,  CO.  Wilts,  England,  and  came  to  New  England  with  her  parents 
in  the  Angel  Gabriel .,  which  sailed  from  Bristol,  May  23,  1G35, 
and  was  unceremouioiisly  flung  upon  the  shore  at  Pemaquid  in  the 
frightful  gale  of  Aug.  lo,  vrith  the  loss  of  several  of  her  passengers 
and  crew.  ^ 

Her  father,  a  native  of  Westbury  Leigh,  was  a  well-to-do  woolen 
manufacturer  in  ]']ngland,  who  leinoved  to  New  England  with  his  M'ife 
and  eight  children,  leaving  one,  a  daughter,  in  England.  He  became 
the  third  original  settler  in  that  i»art  of  Ipswich  which  is  now  Essex, 
Mass.,  and  was  piomiueut  in  town  and  church.  His  wife,  Elizabeth,

16  WALDO  GENIv\I.O(;Y. 

Fell.  ir>,  IOCS,  "Conioliiis  W:iUlo  of  Cholinsford  Gent,  and  llaunnh 
his  wife"  oonveyed  the  house  and  farm  at  Chchacco  Falls  to  FdAvard 
Braj.';!^'  of  Ipswich  for  sixs^core  pounds.'  liragg  convoyed  the  estate  to 
his  "son  and  daughter,  Joseph  and  Mary  Eveleth,"  Apr.  26,  1005, ^^ 
and  it  remained  in  the  Eveleth  family  until  1771,  when  a  part  of  it, 
and  prol)a))ly  that  part  which  included  the  house,  was  acquired  by 
Jonathan  Story  of  Ipswich.  It  is  thought  that  no  part  of  the  original 
house  is  now  standing. 

Just  when  Mr.  Waldo  removed  to  Chelmsford  is  uncertain;  but  it 
was  probably  not  long  before  he  sold  his  farm  at  Chcbacco  Falls. 
The  birth  of  his  youngest  daughter,  Mary,  is  recorded  in  the  County 
Clerk's  ollice,  at  Salem,  as  occurring  at  Ipswich,  Sept.  9,  1GG5,  and 
her  death  is  recorded  at  Chelmsford,  Nov.  29,  1GG5,  v.'hich  makes  it 
appear  that  he  removed  between  those  Uvo  dates.  According  to  Rev. 
Wilkes  Allen  in  "The  History  of  Chelmsford,"  p.  16,  when  the  Rev. 
John  Fiske  removed  from  Wcnham  to  Chelmsford,  with  the  greater 
part  of  his  Church,  Waldo  went  with  him;  but  this  must  be  au  error, 
since  Mr.  Fiske,  in  his  records  of  the  Church  at  Wenham  and  of  its 
removal  to  Chelmsford,  makes  no  mention  of  Mr.  Waldo,  which  he 
would  surely  have  done,  especially  if,  as  says  "Cogswells  in  America," 
p.  16,  on  what  authority  is  not  stated,  Waldo  had  been  one  of  the 
first  deacons  of  the  Wcnham  Church.  Allen  says  that  "  among  these 
pious  emigrants  was  Dea.  Cornelius  Waldo,  a  n^an  of  distinguished 
usefulness,  whose  house  was  in  the  garden  of  the  writer,  near  to  the 
well,  which  was  discovered  and  opened,  on  plowing  the  ground  in 
seventeen  luindred  and  ninety  two,  or  three."  This  was  near  the 
centre  of  the  town.  Unfortunately,  the  early  church  records  of 
Chelmsford  arc  not  in  existence,  and  no  information  can  be  obtained 
from  them. 

]\Ir.  Waldo  is  not  named  as  a  Proprietor  of  Chelmsford  in  the  list 
of  Mch.  1:?,  16G6-7,  nor  was  any  grant  of  land  made  to  him  at  any 
time  by  the  town.  He  evidently  acquiro<l  all  his  Chelmsford  land  by 
purchase  fi'om  earlier  propi-ietors.  The  first  mention  of  his  name  in 
Chelmsford  records  is  "  20'''  3''  mo  1670,"  when  "  Lieutenant  Sanmel 
Foster  and  Josiah  Richardson  being  Apointed  to  Lay  out  a  highway 
for  the  conveniency  of  Mr.  Cornelius  Waldow  and  other  farms  to  his

The  first  recorded  j)urcliasc  of  land  by  Mr.  V/aldo  at  Chelmsford  is 
by  the  following  deed  : — 

"These  p'seuts  witucascth  that  I  Joseph  Wheeler  of  Concord  in  tlio

Just  what  is  meant  by  "Nacooke  "  is  not  clear.  It  was  perhaps  a 
name  applied  to  all  that  unsettled  country  north  of  Chelmsford,  which 
was,  a  few  years  later,  included  in  the  bounds  of  "Old  Dunstable," 
though  the  name  was  aftcrv/ards  applied  only  to  that  part  of  Dunstable 
which  lay  to  the  east  of  Merrimac  river.  The  house  in  which  Waldo 
lived  was  evidently  not  in  the  town  of  Chelmsford,  since  the  new  road 
to  accommodate  him  v.-as  laid  out  "toward  Mr.  Waldows  so  far  as 
Chelmsford  bounds";  but  the  farm  was  perhaps  on  both  sides  of 
Chelmsford  line,  near  Wicasuck  Falls,  and  extending  into  what  is  now 
Tyngsl)orough.  Waldo  did  not  live  there  long,  for,  Apr.  19,  1671,  he 
purchased  of  Thomas  Hinchman  of  Chelmsford,  and  Elizabeth  his 
wife,  for  "a  valuable  sum  of  money  ....  One  mansion  or 
dwelling  house  with  four  acres  of  land  ....  in  Chelmsford 
northward  of  Chelmsford  .Meeting  House." - 

'J'his  must  be  the  house  meant  by  Iv  ;v.  Wilkes  Allen  in  "  The 
History  of   Chelmsford,"    and  here  Waldo  probably  lived  while  an

seems  to  b;ive  been  living  sometimes  in  Clieliusford  and  sometimes  in 
Dunstable,  and  in  deeds  given  during  thai  period  he  is  called  of  each. 
In  the  "  llisbjry  of  the  Old  Township  of  Dunstable,"  p.  21,  he  and 
his  sons,  Daniel  and  John,  arc  named  as  among  the  first  settlers  of 
that  town;  but,  Feb.  3,  1673,  he  was  elected  on  the  committee  to 
instruct  the  selectmen,  and,  Feb.  6,  1G78,  he  was  chosen  selectman,  of 
Chelmsford.' 

Dec.  IG,  1GS5,  I\lr.  Weld  was  ordained  minister  at  Dunstable,  and 
a  church  was  formed  of  seven  male  members,  of  Avhom  Cornelius 
Waldo  was  one,  and  John  l>laachajd  and  Cornelius  "Waldo  were 
cliosen  the  first  deacons,-  showing  that  at  that  time  he  was  residing  at 
Dunstable;  yet,  Dec.  14,  1686,  "Cornelius  Waldo,  Sen'  of  Chelms-

Wamesit  of  Jonathan  Tyng,^  and  iu  1690  he  was  keeping  a  tavern  at 
Chelmsford,  and  received  a  license  f<u-  the  same  and  to  sell  li<iuors 
therein.  'J'he  original  bond  for  this  license  is  on  file  in  the  Probate

Well,  1,  1698,  "  Deticou  "Waldovv  "  was  agfiiu  chor-ion  selectmau  of 
Chelmsford,  and  thi.s  is  the  last  tiuie  lii.s  name  occurs  iu  the  town 
records. 

Mr.  Waldo  gave  a  part  of  his  land  at  "Nacooke"  to  his  sons, 
John,  Cornelius  and  Daniel,  and,  in  1699,  sold  the  rest  of  it  to 
Edward  Emerson,  his  son-in-law.  He  appears  to  have  disposed  of 
all  his  property  before  his  death,  as  no  will  nor  administration  of  his 
estate  is  on  record  in  Middlesex,  Essex  or  Suffolk  counties.  The 
deeds  of  gift  of  "  Nacooke"  have  not  been  found  on  record  ;  but  are 
referred  to  in  a  deed,  dated  April  II,  1699,  by  which  he  and  his  wife, 
Hannah,  conveyed,  for  £150,  to  "my  son  in  hnv  Edward  Emerson  of 
Chelmsford my  land  and  Dwelling  house  in  Chelms-

By  a  yubsequent  Deed,  dated  Au,;^;.  4,  169'J,  he  conveyed,  for  £1G, 
to  Edward  Emerson,  11 G  acres  of  land  in  Dunstable,  with  house,  12 
acres  of  Intervale  land  and  12  acres  "  joining  to  the  medoAV  of  my 
son  John  Waldo."- 

Having  thus  disposed  of  his  property  before  his  death,  Mr.  Waldo 
died  intestate,  Jan.  3,  17U0-1,  at  Chelmsford,  as  has  been  previously 
stated,  aged  75  years.  He  was  buried  in  the  old  burying-ground  and 
his  gravestone  is  still  standing  there,  inscribed  as  follows  : —

The  Memory  of 

the  just   is   blessed 

The  births  of  his  three  oldest  children  and  of  his  youngest  child  are 
not  recorded.  Elizabeth  is  generally  conceded  to  have  been  the  first 
child,  the  date  of  her  nmrriagc,  1672,  being  evidence  to  this;  and  it  is 
assumed  tiiat  T>[r.  Waldo  named  his  three  oldest  sous,  in  the  deed  to 
Edward  Emerson  previously  quoted,  in  the  order  of  their  ages,  as 
v/ould  have  been  natural.  The  births  of  eight  of  the  children  are 
recorded  in  a  voluuie  in  the  County  Clerk's  of  lice  at  Salem,  and  credited 
to  Ipswieli.  Singularly  enough,  Mr.  Waldo  makes  no  mention  of  his 
.son  Jonathan  in  any  paper  that  has  been  found  recorded;  but  there 
can  be  no  doubt,  from  evidence  to  be  given  later,  that  Jonathan  was 
his  son.  He  prol)ably  left  home  much  earlier  than  the  other  boys  and 
\viiH  in  no  need  of  parental  assistance  when  his  father  provided  for 
the  others.

a.  Elizahktii,  (laughter  of  Conu'luis  aud  Haimali  (C(>2,swell) 
Waldo,  is  thought  to  have  been  their  oldest  child ;  but  no  record  of 
her  birth  has  been  found,  nor  is  it  known  "^\hen  or  where  she  died. 
She  was  probably  born  at  Jjiswieb,  Mass.  She  married,  Feb.  4,  1G72,' 
at  Chelmsford  probably,  Josiah,  son  of  Capt.  Richard  and  Alice 
Rrackett  of  Braintree,  Mass.;  born  May  8,  1C52,  at  l^raintree ;  ^  died 
before  Jan.  11,  1081,  when  his  property  was  appraised.  lie  is  said 
to  have  been  an  early  settler  at  Billerica,  i\Iass.,  but  to  have  left  that 
town  about  1G75,  when  it  was  threatened  by  the  Indians,  during  King 
Pliilij)'s  War.     He  apparently  returned  to  Braintree. ^ 

It  is  possible,  though  perhaps  not  probable,  that  she  is  the  Elizabeth 
Brackett  who  married,  Nov.  IG,  1691,  at  Dedham,  jNIass.,  Daniel,  sou 
of  James  and  Meriam  Draper;  born  May  30,  IGGo.''  If  so,  the 
following  records  are  of  value: — 

"  Elizahetli  Draper,  deceased  Sept.  12,  1C'J2,"  "Elizabeth,  ye  daii.ubter  of 
Daniel  and  Elizabeth  Draper,  "was  borne  Sep'  9.  1692,"  and  "  Elizabeth,  the 
daui^hlcr  of  Daniel  and  Elizabeth  Draper,  deceased  Eebruary  25,  1727-8."^

The  lust  legacy  of  live  pouuds  was  revoked  in  the  last  clause  of  the 
will.i 

Children  of  Josiah  and  IClizabeth  (Waldo)  Brackett.  Born,  a  at 
Billerica,  h  at  Iiraintrec,  Mass. : — 

a.  Sakah,  born  Nov.  I,  1G74.' 

b.  Emzahktii,  born  P'eb.  IG,  1678.' 

They  are  botli  named  in  tlieir  granflfalhcr  Brackelt's  ■will,  but  nothing 
fnrlber  lias  been  learned  of  Iheni. 

V  '  b.  JoiiK,  son  of  Cornelius  and  Hannah  (Cogswell)  Waldo;  born, 
date  unknown,  probably  at  Ipswich,  Mass.;  died  Apr.  14,  1700,  at 
Windham,  Conn.''  In  '^  Cogswells  in  Araerica "  he  is  erroneously 
called  a  twin  of  his  brother  Cornelius;  born  Feb.  24,  ItioD.  It  is 
known  that  the  twins  both  died  a  few  days  after  their  birth ;  and 
John  must  have  been  born  sonic  years  before,  since,  not  only  v/as  he 
old  enougli  to  be  engaged  in  the  "  Quaboag  fight,"  in  1675,  liut  he  was 
married  in  167G,  his  oldest  child  dying  in  1677.  It  is  probable  that 
he  was  the  oldest  son,  as  his  father,   in  a  deed  to  Edward  Emerson, 

Apr.   11,   1699,    refers  to    "a  Deed  given unto  my 

Sonnes  John  Cornelius  and  Daniel  "Waldo."  •'^  In  those  days  the  oldest 
son  was  by  far  the  most  important  of  the  children  and  inherited  a 
double  portion,  and  it  is  probable  that  their  father  named  them  in  the 
order  of  their  births.  Unfortunately,  the  original  deed  was  not 
recorded,  or,  at  least,  no  record  of  it  has  been  found. 

Jolm  Waldo  was  a  soldier  in  King  Philip's  War,  and  served  under 
Capt.  Thomas  Wheeler  in  the  fight  at  Quaboag  (nov/  Brookfield. 
Mass.),  Aug.  :?,  167a.  Capt.  Wheeler's  "Narrative,"  after  describing 
the  battle  and  naming  those  killed,  relates  that  : — "There  were  also 
then  five  persons  wounded,  viz.— Captain  Hutchinson,  myself  and  my 
son  Thomas,  as  aforesaid,  Corporal  French,  of  Billericay,  who  having 
killed  an  Indian,  was  (as  he  was  taking  up  his  gun)  shot,  and  part  of 
one  of  his  thumbs  taken  off,  and  also  dangerously  wounded  tlirongh 
the  liody  near  the  shoulder;  the  fifth  was  John  "Waldoc,  of  Chelms- 
ford, who  was  not  so  dangerously  wounded  as  the  rcst."^  The 
company,  after  a  diflicult  march  of  ten  miles,  succeeded  in  reaching 
Brookfield,  and   fortified  one  of  the   largest  houses,   in  which  all  the

iiihaljihuits  of  the  town  look  refuge  with  Iheiii.  Here  the}'  were 
besieged  by  the  Indians  until  the  moniini;-  of  August  5,  when, 
reinforcenicnls  arriving,  the  Indians  withd)-ew.  On  Aug,  10,  Capt. 
Wheeler,  and  all  of  his  company  that  were  able  to  travel,  retired  to 
Marll)orough,  where  they  remained  until  Aug.  21,  when  they  returned 
home  to  Concord.  For  this  service  John  Waldo  was  credited,  Nov. 
;;0,  1  07.^,  n  -.  OO  :  OO.'  Later,  Feb.  29,  1075-0,  John  Waldo  was  again 
credited,  for  service  at  Groton  garrison  under  Capt.  Wheeler, 
X'01:12:10.2  This  apparently  ended  his  military  service,  except 
that,  in  1082,  he  and  his  brother  Daniel  were  employed  Ijy  the  tovru  of 
Dunstable  as  a  mounted  guard   against  the   Indians. ^ 

He  probably  removed  from  Ipswich  to  Chelmsford  with  his  father, 
and  later  settled  in  Dunstable,  where  he,  his  brother  Daniel,  and 
Cornelius  Waldo,  who  may  have  lieen  his  brother  or  his  father,  were 
early  settlers.''  He  was  certainly  living  at  Dunstable  in  16S2,  for, 
May  2'.),  1Gm2,  "John  AValdoof  Dunstable,  Husbandman,"  mortgaged 
tu  Thomas  Smith  of  Boston,   "  all  that  my  one  halfe  of  a  Grist  Mill 

s<^''t"'^tc upon  Nacooke  Brooke  (commonly  so  called) 

in  Dunstable  ....  (the  other  halfe  of  s'^  mill  belonging  to  Mr. 
Jonathan  Tyng)  Avith  one  halfe  of  all  the  land,  pond,  dam,  stones," 
eic.^  He  represented  the  town  of  Dunstable  in  the  General  Court  at 
the  May  session,  1689.'^" 

About  this  time,  probably,  he  removed  to  Boston;  though  he  may 
have  been  living  there  at  an  earlier  date  for,  Sept.  21,  1084,  Rebecca 
Waldo,  who  may  have  been  his  sister,  but  was  probably  his  wife,  was 
a<linitted  into  the  Second  Church,  Boston.  King  William's  War  broke 
out  in  IGS'J,  and  many  of  the  inhabitants  of  Dunstable,  which  was 
much  exposed  to  Indian  attacks,  left  that  town  permanently  at  about 
that  time.  He  was  certainly  living  in  Boston  in  1095,  when  his  name 
ai-pears  in  the  list  of  the  inhabitants  of  Boston  as  living  in  Ward 
l-onvJ  Nov.  7,  1097,  John  Waldo  of  Boston,  miller,  conveyed  to 
Natiianiel  Beale  of  llingliam,  a  dam,  stream  and  a  tide-mill,  with  about 
live  acres  of  land,  at  a  place  called  the  Town  Cove  in  Hingham.^ 
It  has  not  been  learned  when  or  from  whom  i\Ir.  Waldo  acquired  this 
I'foperty,  nor  is  there  any  evidence  that  ho  ever  lived  at  Hingham. 
When  Mr.  Beale  sold  this  tide-mill,  Dec.  5,  1098,  he  described  it  as 
"formerly  the  estate  of  John  Waldo  late  of  Boston. "o

"  an  allotment  of  a  thousand  acre  right  in  Windham,  it  being  in  num- 
ber the  first  lot  on  the  east  side  of  the  river  below  croch  of  nauchog 
river,  the  home  lot  and  part  of  the  first  division  contains  fifteen  acres 
and  a  lialf."  The  consideration  vras  £30  current  money  of  New 
England. 2  In  both  these  deeds  AValdo  is  called  of  Boston;  but  he 
must  have  immediately  removed  to  Windham,  if  he  was  not  already 
there,  since  he  was  admitted  an  inhabitant  of  AVindham,  Jan.  CO, 
1607-8,  and  ou  the  same  date  was  placed  on  a  committee,  with  Joseph 
Hall  and  John  Backus,  to  gather  the  rate  and  agree  with  workmen 
"to  build  a  meeting  house."  ^ 

IMeauwhile,  he  had  disposed  of  his  lands  in  Chelmsford.  Dec. 
15,  1697,  John  Waldo  of  Boston  and  "Rcbecka"  his  wife,  "for  £21 
in  Silver  current  money,"  conveyed  to  Andrew  Spaldijig  of  Cliebns- 
ford,  "  all  that  'J')-act  of  land  vrhich  y'  said  John  Waldo  received 
of  y-  estate  of  his  llathcr  in  law  Capt.  Samuel  Adams  of  Chelms- 
ford Deceased  which  upon  the  division  of  that  estate  fell  to  y- 
share  of  y'  wife  of  y*  said  John  ]J)anghter  of  said  Adams,"  •*  which 
is  of  value  as  proving  the  parentage  of  John's  wife.  Jan.  2,  1690, 
John  Waldo  of  Windham  and  Rebecca,  his  wife  conveyed  to  Edward 
Emerson  of  Chelmsford,  "that  pnrt  of  the  fi'arm  whicli  he  had  by  a 
Deed  of  Gift  from  his  ffather  Mr  Cornelius  Waldo  and  what  he 
purchased  of  his  Brother  Cornelius  Waldo  in  the  Township  of 
Dunstable,"^'  thus  proving  beyond  all  question  that  John  Waldo  of 
Windham  and  John  Waldo  of  Chelmsford,  Dunstable  and  Boston 
were  the  same. 

Mr.  Waldo's  death  occurred  a  little  over  a  year  after  his  roiiova! 
to  Windham.     The  following  is  his  will  and  inventory  of  his  estate : —

the  ohUt  of  their  births.'  Unfortunatclv,  the  original  deed  of  gift  is 
not  on  record.  Of  Cornelius  but  little  has  been  learned.  Jan.  24, 
1G76,  he  "is  credit' d  on  Treasurer  John  Hull's  ledger  with 
£i)0 — 10 — 00  for  service  in  the  Indian  War.  He  was  of,  or  served 
ut,  Chelmsford."  2  In  a  rnaimscript  account  of  the  faniil}-,  written  ]>y 
I3anicl  Waldo,  Jr.,  of  Worcester,  Mass.  \_cnhf]  we  are  told  that 
"  when  arrived  at  I\Iauhood  he  removed  to  Dunstable  in  tlie  Colony  of 
New  Hampshire.  In  the  year  16S5  he  with  six  others  formed  a 
Church  over  which  the  Kevercnd  Thomas  Weld  was  ordained  Pastor, 
and  he  was  chosen  Deacon.  In  the  y»-'2.i'3  1G89  and  16'JO  he  served 
the  Town  as  their  Reinesentative  in  the  General  Court. "^  It  is  probable 
that  it  was  his  father  who  was  chosen  deacon,  since  he  has  that  title 
in  the  Chelmsford  records.  The  records  of  the  General  Court  show 
that  Cornelius  Waldo  was  Representative  for  Dunstable  at  the  session 
beginning  June  5,  1GS9  ;  and  for  Chehasford  at  the  sessions  beginning 
June  8,  1G92,  and  May  31,  ICO.S.  It  is  not  unlikely  tliat  the  first  of 
these  was  the  son  and  tlie  last  two  the  fatlicr.  However  this  may  be,  it 
is  prolKible  that  Cornelius,  Jr.,  removed  to  Boston  at  aljout  this  time. 
The  birtli  of  his  third  child  is  ix'corded  at  Dunstable  in  1GS6,  but  that 
of  his  fourth  child  is  recorded  only  in  Boston,  in  1690;  and  three  of 
his  children  were  baptized  at  the  First  Church  in  Boston  in  1G91-2. 
His  name  appears  in  the  Boston  tax  list  for  1691  as  living  in  Ward 
7,  and  also  in  a  list  of  the  inhabitants  of  15oston,  in  1G95,  in  the  same 
ward.''  In  the  account  of  him  given  in  "  New  England  Historicol  and 
Genealogical  Register,"  vol.  xviii.,  p.  17G,  for  "  Lancaster"  one  should 
road  Dunstable.  No  record  of  his  death  has  yet  been  found ;  but 
it  must  have  occurred  Itetweeu  1G95  and  June  8,  1G97,  when  Thomas 
J'cck,  Sen^,  shipwright,  conveyed  laud  to  his  daughter.  Faith  Waldo, 
widow. ^ 

He  married  about  1683,  date  and  place  not  ascertained,  P'aith, 
daughter  of  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  Peck,  of  Boston,  and  widow  of 
Jeremiah  Jackson  of  Boston.  She  was  born  Dec.  8,  1G58,  at  Boston  ;S 
was  bapt.  Dec.  12,  1G58,  at  First  Church; '  and  died  Oct.  23,  1732, 
at  lioston.s  Her  father,  Thomas  Peck,  was  a  shipwright.  His  will, 
•lated  Mch.  3,  1698,  probated  Feb.  15,  1699,  calls  him  "of  Boston,

perhaps  continuing  a  business  established  by  him.  "At  a  meeting  of

of  his  Decease  she  shall  l\eceive  the  Portion  now  p;\\Qn  her  into  her  ov,  n

children  of  said  Kachell;  to  Dauphler  Elizabeth  WaUio  £100  and  one  fourth

decease  before  her,  to  be  paid  into  hei'  own  hands  and  if  it  so  happen  that 
she  die  without  Issue  before  the  sold  John  then  what  I  have  given  her  to  be 
Divided  amon2;st  my  other  children; — other  one  fourth  part  of  Remainder  of 
estate  to  daughter  Judith  Durant;  my  said  Sons  in  law  John  Durant  and 
John  Waldo  shall  not  have  receive  take  or  intermeddle  with  any  Part  of  my 
Estate  hereinbefore  given  to  their  respective  wives." 

Cornelius  Waldo,  llie,  son,  was  made  executor,  and  his  account  was 
approved  Sept.  1,  1735,  by' 

"John  ^yaldo  and  Elizabeth  his  Wife,  Edward  Durant  and  Judith  his  Wife, 
John  Duraut  and  Rachel  his  wife,  the  three  daughters  and  Legatees  named  in 
Will  of  Mother  Mrs.  Faith  Waldo,  who  acknowledge  to  have  received 
£0.>— 1  — 11  apiece  in  full  satisfaction  for  what  we  or  either  of  us  have  given 
to  us  or  may  at  any  time  to  come  pretend  to  have  or  claim  of  in  or  to  estate 
of  said  deceased."* 

Tlie  executor  credits  himself  with  "Paid  Tho3.  Jackson,  Jeremiah 
Jackson,  Hannali  Jackson  and  Faith  Jackson,  for  their  legacies  £o 
each.  Paid  John  Duraut  7^  months  Boarding  ye  dec''  in  her  Lifetime 
in  1731,  £18:  13:  0."^ 

The  l)irths  of  the  children  are  all,  except  Jo)iathan,  recorded  in 
lioston ;  but  as  that  of  Elizabeth  is  also  recorded  in  the  IMiddlesex 
County  Clerk's  Otfice  as  occurring  at  Dunstable,  and  only  Judith  and 
the  twins  were  baptized  in  Boston,  it  is  probable  that  all  but  Judith 
were  born  in  Dunstable,  and  that  their  births  were  not  recorded  in 
Boston  until  after  the  death  of  Joiiathan.  Probably  the  boys  were 
not  Ijaptized  at  the  time  of  their  birth  for  the  reason  that  there  was 
then  no  settled  minister  at  Dunstable.  If  the  Sarah  Waldo,  who 
married  John  Hide  ^la}'  19,  1720,*^  and  whose  parentage  has  not  been 
learned,  but  who  has  been  supposed  to  have  been  daughter  of  Daniel 
[*"?],    w^as  daughter  of    Cornelius,   it  is  evident  that  she  died  before

-:■  d.  Daniel,  son  of  Cornelius  and  Hannah  (Cogswell)  Waldo; 
born  Aug.  19,  1657,  at  Ipswich,  Mass.;i  died  Nov.  1,  1737,  at 
Pomfret,  Conn. 2  He  removed  to  Chelmsford  with  his  father  and,  in 
1682,  was  an  inhabitant  of  Dmistable,  for,  in  that  year,  he  and  his 
))rother  John  were  employed  ])y  the  town  as  a  mounted  guard  against 
the  Indians.3  In  right  of  his  wife,  he  inherited  land  in  Cheluisford 
from  his  father-in-law,  Capt.  Sfunuel  Adams,  and  from  his  wife's 
grandfather,  Tliomas  Graves;  and  probably  removed  to  that  town 
early  in  1688,  as  we  find  the  bii-th  of  his  third  child  recorded  there  in 
August  of  that  year. 

He  was  in  garrison  at  Chelmsford,  Mch.  16,  1691-2.''  In  1695  the 
town  voted  to  enter  into  a  contract  with  him  for  erecting  a  corn-mi:', 
under  the  following  vote  : — 

"July  the  30  iGCo  :     At  a  Lefr.nll  mcotinc;  of  the  Town  of  Chelmsford It

For  some  unexplained  reason,  there  was  a  delay  of  two  and  a  half 
years  between  the  passiitg  of  this  vote  and  the  signing  of  the  contract.

The  lands  which  Waldo  inherited  iu  Chelmsford  from  his  falhcr-in- 
law,  Capt.  Samuel  Adams,  and  from  his  wife's  grandfather,  Thomas 
Graves,  were  sold  by  Daniel  Waldo  of  Chelmsford  and  Stisanna,  his 
wife,  by  deeds  of  Jan.  IG,  1G96,  and  Aug.  6,  1698."-  Other  lands  ui 
Dunstable  he  received  by  gift  from  his  father,  the  deeds  of  which  are, 
unfortunately,  not  on  record.  Iu  1700,  perhaps  discouraged  by  the 
dilliculty  he  found  in  keeping  "  a  good  sullicient  miller  in  good  repair," 
he  sold  all  his  property  in  Chelmsford  and  Dunstable  and  moved  aNvay 
with  his  whole  family.

Sept.  10,  1700.  Daniel  A^aldo  of  Cheliiisford  and  Susanna,  his

and  also  Twelve  acres  of  medow.^ 

Nov.  30,  1700.  Daniel  Waldow  of  Chelmsford  conveyed  to  John 
Richardson  of  Chelmsford,  "one  Cornmill  situate  in  Cliclmsford 
standing  on  Stony  Brook  near  to  JMcrrimack  ....  also  one

From  (Jhelmsford  Waldo  removed  to  Dorchester,  Mass.,  wheie  the 
first  evidence  of  him  is  found  in  the  record  of  the  Ijirth  of  his  youngest 
child  in  1701.  Here  he  leased,  of  the  town,  a  farm  on  tlie  borders  of 
Bridgewater,  on  which  he  lived  in  peaceable  possession  until  about 
1710,  when  tlie  farm  was  claimed  by  the  town  of  Bridgewater  as  lying 
within  the  bounds  of  tlie  county  of  lMy7nouth.^  After  a  long  dispute, 
the  line  was  resurveyed,  the  claim  of  Bridgev.'ater  was  sustained,  and 
Waldo  was  dis]>ossessed.  ]Many  years  after,  in  November,  1727, 
Waldo  petitioned  the  General  Court  for  compensation,  his  petition 
reciting — "That  in  the  year  1719  Your  pcf  represented  to  the 
General  Assembly  of  this  Province  tliat  your  pet''  by  Lease  from  the 
Selectmen  of  the  Town  of  Dorcliester  held  a  Tract  of  Land  between

1.  .loN.vTHAN,  son  of  Conu'liu^^  and  Ilonnnh  (Cogswell)  Waldo; 
born  ubout  1GG8,  i)robably  at  Chelmsford,  I\iass.  ;  died  May  26,  ]731, 
at  Boston,  Mass.,  "in  the  Go  year  of  his  ago."^  In  almost  all 
liotioes  of  the  family  he  has  been  called  the  sou  of  his  brother  Daniel, 
but  his  true  place  in  the  family  is  established  by  a  deed,  dated  Apr. 
25,  171C,  by  which  "Jonathan  Waldo  of  Boston  Merchant  and 
Hannah  his  wife  for  and  in  consideration  of  y^'  Natural  love  and 
affection  y^  we  have  and  bare  towards  our  well  Itelovcd  Brother  Daniel 
Waldo  and  his  present  wife  our  sister  Susannah  Waldo,"  conveyed  a 
life  interest  to  them  in  a  farm  in  Tomfret,  Conn.3  This  farm  was 
conveyed  to  him  by  deed  dated  Apr.  17,  171G,  by  John  Chandler  of 
Woodstock,'  and  was  evidently  purchased  for  the  purpose  of  settling 
Ills  brotlier  Daniel  upon  it.      (For  full  abstract  of  the  deed  of  gift,  see 

page  37.)  .         ,  c        ^ 

Of  his  early  life  nothing  has  been  learned;  his  name  is  not  found 
in  the  records  of  Ch(.'lmsford  or  Dunstable,  not  even  his  birth 
l.eing  recorded,  nor  does  his  faliier,  in  bis  deed  to  his  son-in-law, 
ICdward  Emer.son,  dated  Apr.  11,  1G99,  name  him  with  his  other  sons 
as  having  received  any  part  of  the  patrimonial  acres.-''  He  probably 
went  to  I'.ostoM  when  young,  and  he  there  became  a  prominent  and 
weuUhy  mercliaiit,  a  man  of  usefulness  in  the  community. 

Though  he  held  no  important  oilices,  his  name  occurs  frequently  in  the 
town  reciirds.      Mcli.  11,  1705-C,  he  was  chosen  to  serve  as  constable,

the  Laying  a  draine  or  Comon  Shoar  there  for  the  draining  the  Cellars 
of  that  Xrighbourhood."  ^     Wings  Lane  is  no>Y  Elm  Street.     Whether 
he  lived  there  or  had  his  shop  there  or  both  does  not  appear,  but  m 
1719  he  was  probably  living  in  Milk  Street,  since,   Mch.  22,  1718-19, 
liberty  was  granted  to  liim  "  to  digg  open  the  Highway  in  Milk  Street 
for  th'e  Laying  a  Cellar  drain  of  his  into  the  comon  Shore  there."  ^     In 
1714  he  was  given  permission  to  erect  "  a  Toomb  for  his  family  in  tlie 
old  buryin<^  place  to  Stand  next  to  Docf  Cook's  fence."     The  follow- 
ing year  iTberty  was  granted  to  Mr.  Thomas  AYalker  to  "make  a 
Tomb  in  the  Old  burying  place,  at  the  Easterly  side  thereof  between 
the  Tombs  of  Major  Thour^  Fitch  &  M^  JonMVaUV."  ^'     The  "old 
burying  place"  is  now  known   as   the  Chapel   Burying  Ground  and 
adjoinr  King's  Chapel.     Mch.   29,   172G,   he  was  appointed   on   the 
Committee  to  renew   the  bound  marks    between  Boston  and   Lynn, 
Reading  and  Maiden,  and  Aug.  18,  172G,  for  the  same  duty  between 
Boston  and  Koxbury.^'^ 

The  nature  of  Mr.  Waldo's  business  and  his  associates  in  it,  if  any, 
have  not  been  learned,  as  no  advertisements  of  his  have  been  found  in 
the  Boston  newspapers  until  in  the  Xews- Letter  of  July  IS,  1723,  when 
he  requests  delinquent  debtors  to  settle  their  accounts  with  him.  In 
1728  he  retired  from  business  and  was  then  living  in  Queen  Street 
(now  Court  Street),  as  is  learned  from  the  following  notice  which 
appeared  in  the  Xew  England  Weeliy  Journal,  Feb.  26,  1728:  —

any  l^-rsons  that  have  demands  on  him  are  desired  to  brin<^  in  their  accounts

Mr.  NVuldd,  like  others  of  tlie  family,  was  a  believer  in  real  estate, 
u)i(l  was  a  very  extensive  owner  of  lands  in  the  townships  of  Kutland 
and  Worcester  in  the  Province  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  and  in  several 
towns  in  the  Colony  of  Connecticut.  Dec.  S,  17M,  he  boug;ht  of 
Moses  Parker  of  Chelmsford  for  £15  two-thirds  of  one  thirty-second 
of  Rutland  township  (about  two  thousand  acres)  ;  ^  Jan.  12,  1715- IG, 
he  bought  of  Joseph  Foster  of  Billerica,  blaclcsmith,  one  thirty-second 
part  of  Ivutland  (about  twenty-seven  hundred  acres)  ;  -  Nov.  26,  1718, 
he  bought  of  Thomas  How  of  Marlboro,  altout  thirteen  hundred  acres 
in  liutland.3  In  many  other  transactions  he  purchased  more  than  one 
thousand  acres  in  Worcester,  several  hundred  more  in  Rutland,  live 
hundred  in  Ashfield,  Conn.,  two  hundred  and  fifty  in  Woodstock, 
Conn.,  and  more  than  ;i  thousand  in  Canterbury,  Conn.  His  execu- 
Uns  were  many  years  disposing  of  the  property.  Reed's  "History  of 
Rutland  "  says  that  he  was  one  of  the  settlers  of  Rutland  with  his 
family  between  1713  and  1720.  It  is  probable,  however,  that  lliis 
settlement  was  made  by  proxy  and  that  he  never  lived  there  liiniself.'' 
In  1713  he  bought  a  house  and  land  in  Plymouth  which  he  sold  in 
1725,^  but  there  is  no  evidence  that  he  ever  lived  there. 

Aug.  15,  1719,  he  with  his  nephew  Cornelius  Waldo  [ca']  and  his 
son-in-law  Thomas  Fairwcather,  became  one  of  the  thirty  associate 
owners  of  the  Muscungus  Patent  in  Maine,  a  tract  of  land  comprising 
aliout  five  hundred  thousand  acres, ^  and,  Nov.  21,  1723,  he  purchased 
of  John  Clark,  one-half  of  his  thirtieth  interest  in  that  patent.'' 
His  son  Sanniel  afterwards  acquired  nearly  the  whole  of  this  vast 
tract. 

The  Boston  Gazetfe,  May  31,  1731,  has  the  following  notice  of  hi.s 
death: — '^  (Jn  the  20  past  died  here  and  on  Monday  hist  was  Honor- 
ably interred  Mr.  Jonathan  AV^aldo,  in  the  Co  year  of  his  age,  who 
sometime  since  was  one  of  tiie  most  considerable  shopkeepers  in 
this  Place;  but  did  of  late  retire  to  a  more  private  life.  He  was 
always  justly  accounted  a  Man  of  Integrity,  a  fair  dealer,  and  a 
liberal  benefactor  to  the  Poor;  and  hath  left  large  Donations  to  Pious 
Uses."

THIRD  GENERATION. 


bb.  John,  son  of  John  (Cornelius)  and  Rebecca  (Adams)  Waldo  ; 
l)oin  I\lRy  ID,  1678,  at  Chelmsford,  Mass.;'  died,  date  unknown,  but 
between  Mch.  28,  1736,  when  he  was  dismissed  from  the  First  Church 
in  Boston,^  and  Oct.  ID,  1736,  when  his  wife,  Elizabeth,  was  appointed 
administratrix  on  his  estate. 

He  removed  to  Windham,  Conn.,  with  his  parents;  was,  with  his 
mother,  appointed  administrator  on  his  father's  estnte,  and  apparently 
continued  his  father's  business  of  milling,  until  his  removal  from 
Windham  to  Boston,  in  1710  or  1711.  As  eldest  son,  he  had  a  doul>lc 
portion  of  the  estate,  and  he  retained  a  half-ownership  in  his  father's 
mill  until  Nov.  4,  1716,  when  he  disposed  of  it  to  Ephraim  Sawyer,-'' 
who  purchased  the  other  half,  June  29,  1734,  of  John  Waldo  and  his 
brothers  and  brothers-in-law.'*  Until  this  last  date,  his  name  appears 
quite  frequently  in  the  Windham  deeds  of  real  estate,  as  he  continued 
to  deal  in  Windham  lands  long  after  his  removal  to  Boston.  It  is  not 
clear  whether  he  or  his  father  is  meant  when,  in  the  division  of  old 
Windham  into  Windham  and  Mansfield — first  voted  by  the  town  Jan. 
30,  1700,  approved  by  the  General  Court  Oct.  9,  1701,  and  furtli.-r 
voted  ]^Iay  14,  1702,  naming  the  north  part  Jlansfield— the  finnl 
bounds  of  the  town  v.ere  fixed,  May,  1703,  and  John  Waldo  was 
named  as  one  of  the  Proprietors  of  Windham  ;^  but,  from  the  fact 
that  land  was  allotted  to  him  for  many  years  after,  it  is  probable  that 
the  younger  John  is  meant,  though  perhaps  he  merely  inherited  his 
father's  rights. 

In  1702  John  Waldo  and  others  purchased  land  and  removed  to  a 
new  settlement  on  Merrick's  Brook,  known  as  Scotland.  The  state- 
ment in  "  History  of  Windham  County,"  vol.  i.,  p.  84,  that  ''  Waldo's 
land  in  the  south  of  this  tract  is  still  held  by  his  descendants."  is  an 
error.  Probably  Miss  Earned  has  confused  John  Waldo  with  his 
brother  Edward,  whose  descendants  are  still  living  in  Scotland.  In 
February,  1706,  John  Waldo  and  others  were  granted  "the  privilege

Waldo  liiiiiself  built  a  mill  or  lived  there.

Meh.  18,  1710,  three  acres  of  land  were  layed  out  to  John  Waldo 
"  upon  Chestnut  Hill."  ^ 

Mvh.  2o,  1710,  and  M.ay  10,  1710,  Edward  Waldo  conveyed  two 
Hiiiall  lots  of  land  in  Windham  to  John  Waldo  of  Windham.*' 

In  subsequent  deeds,  where  he  is  described  at  all,  he  is  called  of 
Hoston  ;  and  he  probal)ly  removed  to  Boston  in  1710,  for  his  third 
child  was  born  and  baptized  in  Boston,  February,  1711. 

Other  Windham  real  estate  transactions,  however,  are  as  follows ; 
and  are  of  importance  in  establishing  the  identity  of  the  much-married 
John  Waldo  of  Boston  : — 

June,  1712,  "Layed  out  to  John  Waldo  a  hundred  acre  lot."  "^ 

May,  1715,  "Layed  out  to  John  Waldo  and  George  lylly  one

Mch.  9,  1720,  "  layed  out  to  John  Waldo  a  peice  of  land  on  west

"being  copartners  or  tenants  In  comon  "  in  a  certain  hundred  acre  lot

In  ITOi  John  Waldo  was  chosen  constable  ;  and,  Mch.  U,  1709,  "Att 
a  town  meeting  of  Windham  Jolm  Waldo"  and  others  weie  '•  Receved 
Inhabitants."^  Perhaps  he  bad  been  living  elsewhere  for  a  time,  and 
unless,  as  is  probable,  his  name  has  become  confnsi.-d  with  that  of 
John  Waldeu,  also  an  inluiltilant  of  Scotland  parish,  he  nuist  have 
returned  again  to  Windham  in  the  latter  part  of  his  life,  since,  in 
October,  1731,  he,  witli  others,  asked  for  confirmation  of  certain 
bounds  and  distinct  privileges  for  Scotland  Society.  In  May,  1732, 
these  bounds  and  privileges  were  granted,  and  at  the  first  society 
meeting,  June  22,  1732,  Peter  Rol)inson,  John  and  I'^ldward  Waldo, 
were  chosen  society  coinmitlce ;  and,  Dec.  25,  1732,  a  society  meeting 
was  held  at  Mr.  John  Waldo's.'*  He  probably  returned  to  Boston 
soon  after  this  and  remained  tlun-e  until  his  death. 

His  n;ime  first  appears  in  Boston  in  connection  with  tlie  birth  and 
baptism  of  his  son  Benjamin,  the  latter  being  recorded  in  the  records 
of  the  Second  Church.  Nov.  G,  1714,  "John  Waldo  (the  first  admis- 
sion to  the  16  original  signers)  Avas  admitted  to  the  Xew  North 
Church,  Boston,  by  dismission  from  y^  church  in  Windham."  He 
was  "dismissed  to  form  New  Brick  Church  Mch.  G,  1720-1."^  Nov. 
IG,  1719,  John  Waldo  of  Boston,  brewer,  with  twenty-tliree  others,  pur- 
chased an  estate  on  Middle  Street,  Boston.*^  This  was  the  lot  for  the 
New  Brick  Church,  he  being  one  of  the  twenty-four  persons  who  first 
associated  for  the  building  of  that  church  and  among  the  ten  who 
gathered  into  a  church  state."  "  The  signers  of  the  covenant  on  the 
23rd.  of  May  1722  were  John  Waldo  from  the  New  North  Church" 
and  five  others. ^  It  was  voted  "  that  Mr  John  Waldo  read  the 
Psalms."  9  He  withdrew  from  the  church  "after  a  short  continu- 
ance,"'" and  must  be  the  John  Waldo  wlio  was  admitted  to  the  First 
Church,  Feb.  17,  1722-3. ^ 

There  is  no  record  of  his  owning  any  real  estate  in  Boston  until 
Feb.  27,  1722-3,  when  John  Waldo  of  Boston,  brewer,  Anne  his

WALDO  GENIOALoaV.  [«'> 


Devotion  haviivi  l.een  cngago.l,  Mr.  Waldo  was  ^mt  on  a  commillec  to 
make  provision  for  the  elders  and  messengers  at  the  ordination.  Nov. 
19  1734,  he  and  Nathaniel  15ingham  were  ciiosen  deacons. i  In  1726 
he' and  his  wife  Avere  incml.ers  of  the  Windham  Church,  but  were 
transferred  to  the  vScotland  Church,  Oct.  22,  1735. 

The  Separatist  movement,  which  began  in  174G,  found  in  Edward 
Waldo  an.l  his  family  strong  sympathy  and  support,  and  he,  with  his 
wife  and  sous,  Cornelius,  Zacheus  and  John,  were  all  members  of  the 
Separate  Church  in  1716;  and  Edward  Waldo  was  one  of  the  signers 
of  a  petition,  dated  Apr.  16,  1753,  praying  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Toleration  Act.^  "  In  17C3,  Deacon  Edward  Waldo  made  confession 
for  unlawful  separation  and  was  restored  to  his  former  standing  in 

the  First  Church."  ^ 

Mr.  Waldo  represented  the  town  in  the  General  Assembly,  Oct., 
1722,  Oct.,  1725,  and  Oct.,  1730.''  He  was  confiraied  as  Lieutenant, 
Oct.'  1722,-'  though  :\Iiss  Earned  says  that  it  was  not  until  1726  that 
'•  the  population  of  Windham  had  so  increased  that  a  second  military 
company  was  organized,  with  Eleazer  Carey  for  Captain,  Edward 
Waldo  for  lieutenant,  and  Nathaniel  Rudd  for  ensign."  ^  In  1745  Mr. 
Waldo  was  on  the  jury  which  tried  Elizabeth  Shaw  for  murder,  and 
resulted  in  the  first  pul)lic  execution  in  Windham  County.^ 

Mr.  AValdo's  transactions  in  real  estate  in  Windham  are  numerous. 
but  the  deeds  throw  no  new  light  on  the  family  history.  The  earliest 
recorded  deed  bears  date  Jan.  29,  1706-7. »  Nov.  12,  1712,  he  pur- 
chased of  Israel  Cole  of  Eastham,  Mass.,  66  acres  at  Pottai)auge. 
Norwich,  Conn.  ;  and,  July  2,  1713,  of  Winslow  Tracy  of  Norwich, 
70  acres  on  the  east  side  of  "  Shoutuckett  river  near  poltapaug.''^ 
He  probably  never  lived  at  Norwich,  and  in  1735  he  gave  most  of  this 
land  to  his  sons,  Edward  and  Shubael.^'^  In  1732  and  1741  he  bought 
other  land  in  Norwich  ;i^  and,  Aug.  4,  1748,  he  sold  "  to  his  loving 
son  Zacheus"  one-half  of  an  estate  in  Windham  with  a  jiortion  of 
his  house  on  said  loud,  one-half  of  a  piece  of  33  acres  on  Men-ick's 
brook  in  Windham,  and  one-half  of  liis  farm  and  barn  in  Norwich

"Early  hi  life  he  was,"  .says  his  grandson,  Daniel  Waldo  [cahf], 
"apprenticed  to  a  Merchant  in  Boston  (supposed  to  be  Mr.  .Tohu 
Oulton),  and  became  an  eminent  merchant  there."  lie  afterwards 
became  a  partner  of  Mr.  Oulton's,  and  the  firm  did  an  extensive  trade 
both  on  sea  and  laud  and  "  were  moving  spirits  among  the  tradesmen 
and  mariners  of  Boston,  S.alem  and  Marblehead.  But  hard  times 
came,  and  this  firm  lost  heavily  and  was  dissolved"  about  173-1.'  In 
the  Bn.sfun  Xew6-Letler  of  June  30,  1712,  the  tirm  advertised  as  fol- 
lows : — 

"  Late  arriv'd  from  London,  an<l  to  be  Sold  i>er  Messieurs  John  Oultou  and 
Cornelius  Waldo,  at  llieir  Ware-house  iu  Corn-market  Boston,  all  sorts  of 
Cordajxe,  from  a  llatlin-  lo  Cables  of  ten  inches,  Spanish  Iron,  Hollands 
l)uck,'Gunpowder,  &c.,  at  very  reasonable  Kales." 

.Similar  advertisements  appeared  in  tlie  same  newspaper,  Sept.  24 
and  Oct.  1,  171G,  but  their  warehouse  was  then  in  King  (now  State) 
Street.  Aug.  7,  1721,  Messrs.  Oulton  c^-  Waldo  again  advertised  as 
uierehaiits  at  their  waroliouse  iu  King  Street,  but  some  time  after  this 
the  (irm  was  dissolved  and  Waldo  became  a  partner  of  his  cousin 
Samuel  [///],  and  in  the  News-Letter  of  Sept.  5,  1734,  they  advertised 
as  follows  : — 

"Best  London  Market  Madera  Wine,  lately  Imported  hither  via  St.  Kitts;

70  WALDO  GE\KAL()f;Y.  [ca 

It  is  (lou1>tfiil  if  this  pMilnersliip  lasted  l«jnji;,  though  Drako  says, 
*' Samuel  and  Coruolius  Waldo  wero  emineut  merchants  of  Boston. 
Their  place  of  business  was  for  a  considerable  period  in  King  street 
near  the  Crown  CotYee  House.  About  the  close  of  173;i  they  removed 
to  Merchants  liow  near  the  Swing  Bridge.  Cornelius  Wahlo  lived  in 
Leveretls  Lane."  ' 

He  was  certainly  living  there  in  IT-'M,  since,  Mch.  1,  IT.'M  :  — 

"  Lll)erty  is  Gr;inted  to  Mr.  Cornerms  Waldo  lo  Open  the  Gromid  in  Lev- 
erets Lane,  in  Order  lo  Clear  his  Drain  Upon  Condition  that  he  forthwith 
nnike  jjood  the  same  aixain  and  keej)  it  in  repair  from  time  to  time  to  the  Satis- 
faction of  the  Select  Men.'"^ 

It  is  quite  likely  that  he  lived  there  before  his  mother's  death  and  that 

the  business,  advertised  in  1732  by  Mrs.  Fiuih  Waldo,   "at  the  next 

House  to  the  Bunch  of  Grapes  Tavern  in  Leveretts  Lane,"  was  carried 

on  by  tlie  wife  and  not  by  the  mother  of  Cornelius  Waldo,  their  names 

l)eing  the  same.     This  would  account  for  the  advertisement  ai)pearing 

again  after  the  death  of  tlie  senior  i\Irs.  Waldo.     However  this  may 

l)e,  Cornelius  eventually  took  this  business  himself,  and  advertised  in 

the  NewS'LeUer^  Apr.  28,  1737  : — 

•'Lately  Imported  from  London  and  to  be  sold  by  Cornelius  Waldo,  at  his 
Rouse  next  Door  to  the  Bunch  of  Grapes  Tavern  in  Leveretts  Lune  Good 
Hrocaded  Silks,  Padusoys,"  &c.,  &c. 

And  also  in  the  Boston  Gazette^  Dec.  4,  1738  : — 

"  To  be  sold  by  Cornelius  AValdo  at  his  Dwelling  House  in  Leveretts  Lune 
near  King  Street  in  Boston,  Broad  Cloths  viz.  Scarlet,  Blue,  Black,  Drab  and 
other  fashionable  Colours,  Kerseys,  Bags,  blue  and  red  Camblets,  and  other 
goods  lately  arrived  from  London.  And  also  to  be  sold  at  said  Waldo's 
Distill  house  at  Barton's  Point  or  at  his  Warehouse  N^  17  on  the  Long 
Wliarf  near  the  Upper  Crane  very  good  Hum  by  the  Hogshead  Barrill  or 
Quarter  Cask." 

In  the  Xetvs-Letter  of  October  25,  1741,  he  advertised: — 

"To  be  sold— By  Cornelius  Waldo  at  his  House  in  Leveretts  Lane,  near 
the  Quaker  Meeting  House  in  Boston  a  compleat  Parcel  of  Broud  cloths  of 
various  Sorts  and  Colours,  huported  in  the  last  ship  from  London,  at  reason- 
able Hates  by  Wholesale  or  Retail." 

In  the  following  year,  however,  he  seems  to  have  removed  all  his 

business  to  the  store  on  Long  Wharf,  and  advertised  in  the  Neivs- 

Letler,  Sept.  30,  1742:— 

"Just  Imported  and  to  be  sold  by  Cornelius  Waldo  at  his  Warehouse  N"  17

l.y  liis  son  Julin,  wliu  advertised  in  tlie  Bosto)i  Post  of  Oct.  .1,  1750, 
from  -his  Warehouse  N"  17  on  the  Long  Wharf."  He  engaged  in 
tlie  distilling  business  as  early  as  1722,  for  ''At  A  meeting  of  the 
Select  men  Apr.  17^1'  1722,  Granted  to  m^  Cornelius  Waldo  Liberty  of 
a  Still  house  on  his  Land  on  the  Northerly  Side  of  the  Pasture  of  John 
Jxveret  l^'.sq'  Comonly  called  by  the  name  of  Kopewalkc  Pasture  as  is 
Set  forth  in  his  Petion  (sic)  and  Recorded  in  tl\e  IJooke  for  Timber 
Buildings."  •  In  the  Boston  Gazette  of  Sept.  20,  174;],  there  is  along 
notice  of  a  quarrel  relating  to  the  land,  on  which  Mr.  Waldo  built  his 
Distill  house  in  1722,  then  belonging  to  Hon.  John  Leverett.  Sept. 
28,  1739,  he  was  licensed  "to  sell  strong  drink  as  a  retailer"  at 
liarton's  Point,^  evidently  in  connection  with  liis  distilling  business. 
Distilling  and  even  retailing  liquors  was  in  those  days  considered  a 
rcsi)cctable  and  honorable  business,  and  must  not  be  judged  by  the 
standards  of  today. 

Cornelius  Waldo  was,  like  his  uncle  Jonathan  [/],  a  large  owner  of 
real  estate  in  Worcester,  Rutland  and  Holdcn,  Mass.;  and,  in  com- 
])aiiy  with  Thomas  I'almcr  and  Jolin  Oulton,  purchased  large  tracts  in 
tiiuse  townships.  The  land  in.  Worcester  was  in  the  right  of  Capt. 
John  Wing,  one  of  the  original  proprietors.  They  owned  the  saw- 
mill, erected  by  Capt.  "Wing,  "on  Mill  brook,  over  the  western  sluice, 
where  the  stream  is  parted  by  the  little  island  above  the  bridge,"  near 
what  is  now  Lincoln  Square,  and  tlicy  Avere  assigned  21.3  acres  in  the 
first  division  of  lands. ^  The  partnersliip  between  Palmer,  Oulton  and 
Waldo  was  dissolved  Jnn.  1,  1727,  and  the  lands  divided,  Mr.  "Waldo 
receiving  for  his  share  "  tiic  Great  Farm  that  did  l)elong  to  Capt.  John 
Wing  late  of  P.oston  who  formerly  lived  on  the  same,"  and  other  lots 
in  the  north  part  of  Worcester  in  the  vicinity  of  North  Pond.  Tlie 
original  deed  is  now  in  possession  of  the  American  Antiquarian 
Society,  among  the  William  Lincoln  papers.  Waldo,  however,  con- 
tinued to  hold  lands  in  company  with  JMr.  Oulton  for  some  years 
after  this. 

Dec.  20,  1733,  no  purchased  from  Henry  Hooper  of  Newport,  R.I., 
surgeon,  an  estate  in  Watertown,  Mass.,  between  Charles  River  and 
Fresli  Pond,  with  a  mansion,  which  is  said  to  have  been  built  before 
the  days  of  Charles  the  Second,  and  which  was  still  standing  in  1S71. 
For  a  description  of  it  see  "N.  K.  Hist,  and  Gen.  Register,"  vol. 
XXV.,  pp.  240-1.  There  is  no  evidence  that  Mr.  Waldo  ever  lived  in 
it  himself,  though  he  may  have  done  so.    J^Ich.  11 ,  1742,  he  advertised

Failli  Waldo,  to  .liulije  Lee,  in  the  possession  of  whose  family  it 
remain<'(l  until  LSCiO.  The  original  deed  to  Waldo  of  this  estate  is 
auion^  the  William  l.ineoln  papers  previously  referred  to. 

It  does  not  apjiear  tliat  Waldo  ever  lived  in  Worcester,  though  he 
owned  a  house  there  as  early  as  17-2S,  which  is  referred  to  in  a  vote 
taken  by  the  selectmen  Feb.  2S,  1728-9.1  Ten  years  later,  he  bought 
a  house  at  what  is  now  ll\e  corner  of  Main  and  Mechanic  Streets;  Init 
this  was  occupied,  in  1712,  when  he  sold  it  to  l^anicl  Willard,  by  his 
son,  Cornelius  Waldo,  Jr.-  All  the  deeds  on  record  in  Worcester  coll 
him  of  Boston,  and  it  is  proliable  that  he  lived  there  during  his  whole 
life.  The  Bo.-^foji  Gozctlc,  of  May  2,  1749,  has  an  advertisement  of 
Cornelius  Waldo,  Jonas  Clark  and  Benjamin  Flagg,  a  committee  of 
the  Common  Lands  in  the  Town  of  Ilolden,  with  reference  to  a  tax 
on  the  lands  in  Ilolden;  and,  in  the  News-Leltcr,  of  June  21,  1750, 
among  other  lands  in  New  Rutland  offered  for  sale  by  the  assessors,  is 
"House  Lot  No.  10  of  Mr.  Cornelius  Waldo." 

While  holding  wo  iniportant  otlice  in  Boston,  he  appears  to  have  had 
the  respect  of  his  fellow  citizens.  Mch.  lo,  1716,  he  was  chosen 
constable,  but  refused  to  serve;  he  w^as  chosen  auditor  of  the  treas- 
urer's accounts  Mch.  12,  1721,  Mch.  8,  1730,  and  Mch.  10,  1739-40. 
Ai)r.  28,  173G,  he,  with  Samuel  Waldo  [Ih'].  was  appointed  on  the  com- 
mittee to  prepare  instructions  to  the  representatives.  Mch.  10,  1746, 
he  was  j^laced  on  a  committee  to  consider  petitions  for  rebate  of  taxes. 
Feb.  12,  171.').  F*'b.  10,  1746,  Jan.  7,  1747,  and  Feb.  26,  1748,  he 
was  aijpointed  by  the  selectmen  on  the  committee  to  make  "  a  General 
Walk  or  Visitation  of  the  Town,"  and  "to  meet  at  Faneuil  Hall  at 
Five  o'clock  in  tlie  evening  of  the  said  Day  of  Visitation,  to  Report 
the  state  of  the  Town."'-*  Mch.  1,  1743-4,  he  was  conimissioned 
.iustice  of  the  peace.-'  His  house,  on  Leverett's  Lane,  was  one  of  the 
few  buildings  in  that  vicinity  spared  by  the  great  lire  of  1760.^  After 
Mrs.  WaMo's  death  lliis  house  was  sold  to  her  brother,  Arthur  Savage.^ 

'J'lie  cstt  em  in  which  Waldo  was  held  by  his  fellow  townsmen  was 
not  .'^hareil  by  (!ov.  Shirley,  as  is  evident  from  a  letter  which  the

enabled  him  t'>  write  forcibly,  to  speak  effectively,  niid  to  judge  dis- 
creetly. At  the  age  of  eighteen  he  assisted  his  father  as  clerk." 
'I'hcsc  statements,  however  probable,  seem  to  have  only  the  authority 
of  tradition.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  his  early  life  Avas  passed  in 
business,  whether  with  his  father  or  not,  and  later  he  formed  a  part- 
nership with  his  cousin,  Cornelius  Waldo  [c(?],  which  partnership  was 
in  existence  Sept.  5,  1734,  when  they  advertised  in  the  Boston  Neict;- 
Letter: — 

"  Best  London  Market  Madera  Wine  lately  Imported  hither  via  St.  Kilts  :  to 
1)0  sold  by  the  rii)e,  Hogshead  or  Quarter  Cask  by  JIcss  Samuel  and  Cornelius 
Waldo." 

The   counting-house    and    warehouse    of    this   lirm   was    near   the 

"  Crown"  (a  coffee  house  at  the  lower  end  of  King  Street),  and  later 

on   Merchants   Row,    near    the    Swing   Bridge.'     In    1738,    however, 

Samuel  was  in  business  by  himself  and  advertised  in  the  Bosto)i  Ecen- 

i»g  Post  on  Aug.  7  :  — 

"  Lately  imported  and  to  be  sold  by  Mr.  Sninncl  Waldo  at  his  House  in 
Queen  Street  Choice  Irish  Duck,  fine  Florence  Win'i  and  a  Tared  of  BuUer." 

He  again  advertised  in  the  same  paper  on  Oct.  23  : — 

"  To  be  sold  by  Samuel  Waldo,  Good  Florence  Wine  in  Chests,  good  Irish 
Butter  by  the  Firkin  at  Two  shillings  per  Pound,  and  a  likely  young  Negro 
Fellow." 

His  frequent  voyages  to  England  after  he  })ecame  interested  in 
iMaine  lands,  and  which  he  is  said  to  have  made  no  less  than  fifteen 
times,  must  have  interfered  with  a  mercantile  business,  and  it  is  doulit- 
ful  if  he  was  actively  engaged  in  such  affairs  during  the  latter  half  of 
his  life  Though  he  became  a  prominent  and  influential  citizen  of 
IJoston,  he  never  held  a  town  office.  His  name  appears  frequently 
in  the  town  records;  but  his  services  were  confined  to  his  acting  on 
committees,  to  instruct  the  representatives  in  1732  and  1736;  to  thank 
Peter  Faneuil  for  the  gift  of  the  hall  now  known  as  "  Fancuil  Hall" 
in  1712  ;  to  thank  the  Governor  for  a  portrait  of  His  Majesty  in  1742  ; 
and  to  visit  the  schools  in  1742,  1743,  1747  and  1748.-  He  served 
as  councillor  1742-5  and  1708  ;  ^  and  either  he  or  his  sou.  probably  the 
latter,  was  elected  representative  from  Falmouth  in  1744''  and  again 
from  Boston  in  1749.^  That  it  was  he  and  not  his  son,  Samuel,  who 
was  elected  Councillor  in  1758  is  proved  by  the  "Diary  of  Benjamin

Lynde,"  in  which,  under  date  of  "  17.')8  May. "31."  he  says,  '•'•  Elec- 
tion :  1  chose  a  Councillt)r  [receiving]  all  ye  votes  but  uiy  own, 
Brigadier  W'aUloe  (returned  from  England)  chose  and  Thos.  Hancock 
Esq."  Mr.  Waldo  was  ajipoinled  justice  of  the  peace  and  quorum, 
Mcli.  5,  1713-1.' 

Tiic  chief  occupation  of  \Valdo'.s  life  was  in  cc^nnection  with  the 
"  Muscungus  I'alent,"  which  was  an  extensive  grant  of  lands  in  Maine, 
given  by  the  Plymouth  Council  31arch  2,  l(j2'J,  to  John  Bcauchamp 
of  London  and  Thomas  Lcverett  of  Uoston,  England.  This  grant 
extended  from  the  seaboard,  Ijctween  the  rivers  Penobscot  and  ilus- 
cungus,  to  an  unsurveyed  line  running  east  and  west,  "  so  far  north 
as  would,  Avithoat  interfering  with  the  Kennebec  Patent  or  any  other, 
embrace  a  territory  equal  to  thirty  miles  square.  (About  1,000,000 
acres,  the  north  line  of  the  Patent  as  since  settled  is  in  the  south  line 
of  Hampden,  Newburg  and  Dixmont.)  "-  ''It  included  the  whole  of 
the  }»resent  counties  of  Knox  and  AValdo,  exce[)t  the  territory  of  a  few 
towns.  Subseijuent  surveys  added  a  portion  of  Penol)scot  County. 
For  this  immense  tract  of  land  no  considerati(jn  was  paid,"^  P>eau- 
chamj)  dying,  Lcverett  succeeded  to  the  whole  grant  by  right  of 
survivorshiit ;  and  in  1714  the  patent  descended  to  John  Lcverett, 
President  of  Harvard  College,  great-grandson  of  the  original  grantee. 
All  earlier  settlements  had  been  abandoned  on  account  of  the  Indian 
wars;  and  John  Leverett,  finding  the  task  of  resettlement  too  great 
for  one  man  to  undertake,  divided  the  land  into  ten  shares  and  con- 
veyed them  to  certnin  persons,  thereafter  called  the  "Ten  Proprie- 
tors," who  subse(juently  admitted  twenty  other  partners,  known  as 
the  "•  Twenty  Associates."  Of  these  latter  were  Jonathan  "Waldo, 
the  father  of  S.Hmuel,  and  C(;rnclius  Waldo  ['•'(],  his  cousin  and  part- 
ner. Settlements  were  begun  at  what  are  now  Thomaston  and  Warren, 
but  were  interrupted  by  Indian  wars  until  1726,  when  a  ditiiculty 
ari':;iug  with  one  David  Dunbar,  who,  calling  himself  "  Surveyor 
General  of  the  King's  ^Voods,"  claimed  for  the  British  navy  all  pine 
trees  in  Maine  having  a  diameter  of  two  feet  or  more,  it  was  deter- 
mined to  send  an  agent  to  England  to  obtain  relief.  Samuel  Waldo 
was  selt'cted  for  this  diOicult  task ;  and  so  successful  was  he  in  his 
enterprise  and  so  valuable  were  his  services,  that  he  received  for 
reward  one-half  of  the  whole  patent,  amounting  at  that  time  to  fiOO,- 
000    acres.      In    1731    he  obtained    by    purchase    two-thirds    of    tlie

ri'iiiiiindcr,  thus  becoiiiing  the  uiulisjdiled  owner  of  '100,000  acres, 
ami  thereafter  the  tract  was  generally  known  as  the  "■  ^\^ahlo  Talent."' 

Waldo  devoted  nuicli  of  the  remainder  of  his  life  to  the  development 
and  sftllcment  of  tliis  tract.  IMany  of  his  numerous  voyages  to  Kng- 
land  were  undertaken  with  this  end  in  view  ;  and  settlers  were  attractrd 
fi'om  the  north  of  Ireland  and  from  Germany,  a  colony  from  Bruns- 
wick settling  in  the  present  town  of  Waldoboro  in  1740.  'J'he  terms 
Wfie  very  liberal;  and  though  many  stories  not  creditable  to  W  aldo 
have  been  publishe<i  of  the  hardships  and  sufferings  which  these  early 
colonists  endured,  owing,  it  is  said,  to  the  neglect  of  the  proprietor,  it 
is  prolialde  that  this  neglect  was  not  intentional,  but  was  due  to  the 
ditliculty  of  providing  for  the  settlers  at  so  great  a  distance  from  the 
bases  of  supply.  It  does  not  seem  probable  that  Waldo,  after  incur- 
ring great  expense  in  obtaining  settlers  for  his  lands,  would  have 
allowed  them  to  die  of  want  and  exposure  if  any  efl'ort  of  his  could 
have  pi-cvented  it.  Whatever  his  shortcomings  in  this  matter  •'  it  is," 
says  Williamson,  "  safe  to  assert  that  the  enterprise  and  perseverance 
of  Gen.  Waldo  hastened  the  development  of  the  Penobscot  Valley  by 
at  least  a  generation.  He  found  the  Patent  a  wilderness ;  he  left  it 
Containing  ten  flourishing  p-lantations.  A  county  and  two  towns  per- 
petuate his  name,  while  one  of  the  loftiest  granite  hills  within  sigiit  of 
his  earthly  resting  place  is  called  from  him,  Mt.  Waldo." - 

Notwithstanding  Mr.  Waldo's  activity  in  connection  with  his  Maine 
affairs  he  did  not  neglect  other  matters  which  might  serve  to  advance 
his  interests,  for  that  he  was  a  seltish  aiul  ambitious  man  there  can  be 
\\i)  dou]>t.  He  was  an  active  and  influential  politician,  and  perhaps 
not  over  particular  in  the  means  he  took  to  attain  his  ends.  He  was 
an  intimate  friend  (jf  Sir  William  Pepj»er.'ll  and  of  William  Shirley, 
afterwards  Governor,  ap{)areutly  a  bitter  enemy  of  Governor  Jonathan 
iJeUher,  and  took  advantage  of  his  frequent  visits  to  r>ondon  to  under- 
uiine  the  intluence  of  Belcher  and  to  further  the  appointmejit  of  Shirley 
as  his  successor,  in  which  he  was  finally  successful.  Belcher  found 
iio  epithets  too  sti'ong  to  be  applied  to  AValdo :  called  him  '' wretcli,"

"  Duke  Trinkalo,"  by  which  name  he  referred  to  iiira  in  most  of  his 
letters  of  the  iteriod.'  There  is  no  evidence,  other  than  Bclclier's 
assertion,  that  Waldo  was  seeking  the  governoi'ship  for  himself;  but  it 
is  by  no  means  unlikely  that  lie  was  desirous  to  be  knighted  and  thus

end. 

Besides  being  a  landed  proprietor  and  politician,  Waldo  was  alj^o  a 
soldier;  and,  in  1739,  when  the  regiment  under  Col.  William  Pepperell 
was  divided,  he  was  put  in  command  of  the  new  or  eastern  regiment, 
which  jiosition  he  was  holding  when  the  expedition  against  Louisbourg 
was  umicrlaken  in  171o.-  Of  this  expeditiou  Sir  William  Pepperell

report  to  Gov.  Shirley  of  the  capture  of  Louisbourg,  says  that 
"Brigadier  Waldo  and  Dwight ''  has  behaved  themselves  worthy  of 
their  posts."  ^     Waldo  was  thenceforth  known  as  "Brigadier  Waldo." 

In  the  winter  of  1746-7,  when  Massachusetts  raised  1500  men  for  an 
cxiiedition  against  Crown  Point,  the  command  was  given  to  Waldo, 
but  an  ei)idomic  of  small-pox  caused  the  attempt  to  be  abandoned 
and  there  is  no  record  of  further  military  service  by  him.  Soon  after, 
in  ]74'.>,  he  made  a  final  trip  to  England,  accompanied  by  his  sons, 
Francis  and  Ralph.  On  this  visit  ho  was,  vfith  Sir  William  Pepperell, 
[nesented  at  Court  and  received  from  King  George  II.  praise  for  his 
military  services."** 

lu  1759  Governor  Pownall  made  an  expedition  to  Maine  for  the 
purpose  of  establishing  a  fort  on  tlie  Penobscot.  Waldo,  although  03 
years  old,  accompanied  him,  though  not  apparently  iu  an  ollicial 
capacity.  On  iMay  22,  Pownall,  with  a  detachment  of  his  forces, 
ascended  the  river,  and  on  the  following  day  landed  on  the  eastern 
bank,   not  far  al)Ove  the  present  site   of   Bangor,    and   there,   while

iii!:;ii:cil  ill  determining  on  a  site  for  the  fort,   Waldo  fell  dead   of 

:i])Oi)loxy. 

"Tlierc  is  .1  tradition  that  his  death  occurred  in  this  wise:  After  hf  had 
liiii'.Ied  Avith  Gov.  fo-wnall,  lie  withdrew  himself  a  lew  paces  from  the  eom- 
|.:iiiy  and,  looliing  round,  exclaimed,  •  Here  is  my  l)ound,'— meanin;?  the  limit 
of  tlie  Waldo  Patent— and  instantly  fell  dead.  .  .  .  This,  however,  is 
supposed  to  l)e  falndous,  since  Gov.  I'ownall  makes  no  mention  of  it  in  his 
joiiinal,  and  since,  also,  the  Waldo  Tatuut  had  the  Penobscot  for  its  eastern 
hunndary."  ' 

The  expedition  returned  to  Wassauinkeag  Point,  at  the  head  of  the 
iir.st  falls,  on  the  next  day,  taking  Waldo's  remains  witli  it,  and  tliere 
liiey  were  Imried,  on  May  25,  vrith  military  honors.  The  Boston 
F.rcnimj  Post  for  June  4,  1759,  has  the  following  account  of  tlie 
ceremonies  : — 

"  His  Exi;elleucy  had  the  Corps  bronght  down  with  liim  to  the  Fort  Point, 
wliere  it  was  interred  in  a  Vault  built  for  the  Pnrpose,  on  Friday,  with  ail 
ilie  Honours  due  to  so  faithful  a  Servant  of  the  Pnlilic,  and  so  irood  a 
Cninnion-Wealth's  man  as  the  Brigadier  had  ever  shown  himself  to  be.  Upon 
tandimr  the  Corps,  it  was  received  by  a  Guard,  and  when  the  Proces.-,ion

furm'd  a  Circle.  Divine  Service  was  performed,  and  a  Sermon  suitable  to

Geu.  Waldo  died  iutestiito  and,  July  11,  175'J,  his  f;ous,  Sumuol  and 
Francis  Waldo  of  Falmouth,  and  his  sons-in-law,  Isaac  Winslow  of 
Roxbury  and  Tiiomas  Flucker  of  ]5o.=4ton,  were  appointed  adniinis- 
trators  on  his  estate,  which  was  vei'y  largo.  The  inventory  shows 
that  it  consisted  of : —

His  lauds  in  Massachusetts,  outside  of  Boston,  were  mostly  in 
Worcester  County,  his  deeds  of  purchase  there  dating  from  1731  to 
1742,  but  mostly  in  the  years  173:},  'ol,  and  '3.0.  His  heirs  sold, 
between  17G0  and  1773,  735  acres  in  Worcester,  2535  acres  in 
Rutland,  1442  acres  in  Princeton,  G47  acres  in  Holdcn,  5GS  acres  in 
Oakham,  and  1203  acres  in  Hubbardston ;  a  total  of  7130  acres  in 
Worcester  County.  Previous  to  his  death  he  had,  himself,  sold  much 
other  land  in  the  towns  of  Worcester,  Lancaster  and  Rutland.  His 
lands  in  Connecticut  were  in  the  U.)wns  of  Woodstock,  Mansfield  ami 
Canterbury.  Through  his  wife,  he  had  inherited  a  large  estate  in 
Ipswich  and  other  towns  in  Essex  County ;  but  these  lands  were 
mostly  sold  before  his  death.  His  lands  included  in  the  Muscungus 
Patent  were  valued  in  the  inventory  at  one  shilling  per  acre.  During 
the  Revolution,  all  his  unsold  estate,  which  include*!  nearly  the  whole 
of  the  Muscuugus  Patent,  was  conlibcraed,  owing  to  the  fact  that  all  of 
the  heirs,  save  his  granddaughter,  Mrs.  Lucy  (Flucker)  Knox,  were 
royalists  and  absentees.  Geu.  Knox  afterwards  succeeded  in  recover- 
ing a  part  of  the  estate  for  his  wife. 

Mr.  Waldo  lived  in  both  Boston  and  Falmouth,  now  Portland, 
having  a  residence  in  both  of  those  towns.  His  house  in  iioston, 
which  he  inherited  from  his  father,  was  situated  in  Cornhill  Street. 

In  person.  Gen.  W;ddo  was,  says  Mr.  Williamson,-  "  a  man  of  com- 
manding presence,  tall,  stout,  ami  of  dark  complexion."  Through 
the  courtesy  of  the  authorities  of  Bov/doin  College  we  are  able  to 
publish  a  copy  of  his  portrait,  by  an  unknown  artist — by  some  thought 
to  be  Smibert — which   adorns  the  walls  of  the   Walker  Art  Gallery.

I.H]  THIRD  GKNEIJATION.  103 

By  it  oiif  r;ii)  olttain  an  oxcolli-nl  idea  of  tiie  personal  appearance  of 
tlie  man,  but  of  his  character  it  is  more  dillicult  to  form  an  opinion. 

Williamson  says  : — "  He  was  a  man  of  excellent  understanding  and 
</j\-n.i  activity.  His  kno\vlcd<.>;e  of  men  and  books  was  much  improved 
hy  travollinj^;  and  his  undeviatiui:  integrity,  his  military  turn  of  mind 
and  independent  manners,  rendered  him  a  highly  respected  com- 
mander."'  And,  again,  in  s])eaking  of  the  choice  of  Pepperell  and 
Waldo  for  the  command  at  Louisbourg,  he  says  : — "  They  were  chosen 
for  their  pojiular  manners,  energetic  character  and  great  moral  worth, 
rallier  than  any  skill  in  military  alTairs."  ^  Gov.  Pownall  says  he 
"was  an  accomplished  genllonan,  active  and  enterprising;  had 
enjoyed  the  advantage  of  foreign  travel,  havi)ig  crossed  the  ocean 
lifleen  times,  and  was  an  elegant  military  oOlcer,  tall  and  portly."^ 

In  the  Jennison  Papers,  in  possession  of  the  American  Antiquarian 
Society,  he  is  said  to  have  been  "  a  man  who  left  his  mark  wherever 
lie  went  and  accomplished  more  than  any  iiidividual  projector  of  his 
times,  who  relied   solely  on   [)nvatc  resources  and  personal  influences 

and  exertion Waldo  may  be  designated  a  Colonial 

Xolilcman."  His  intimacy  with  Sir  William  Pepperell,  the  high 
^.oe•a1  jjosition  to  which  he  attained,  and  his  influence  with  the  govern- 
mi'iil  botli  at  home  and  abroad,  all  indicalc  a  high  character.  Yel  he 
<|iKUTelled  biltei'ly  with  his  family  over  the  division  of  his  father's 
e.^alc,  and  conducted  himself  in  bo  unseemly  a  manner  that  his 
brothers-in-law  and  co-executors,  Edward  Tyng  and  Thomas  Fayer- 
weather,  men  of  the  highest  character,  in  a  letter  still  in  existence  in 
die  collection  of  Cliarles  P.  Greenoiigh,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  characterized 
tiiin  in  scathing  terms  as  base,  untruthful  and  blasphemous,  and  as 
""-lierially  unmanly  and  unkind  to  his  only  brother,  closing  with  these 
v\oids: — "but  what  shall  we  say  when  a  man  is  so  infatuated  to  the 
World  tlirt  all  Natural  Affection  is  laid  aside  &.  his  whole  bent  &  study 
is  how  to  gain  the  World  tho  on  the  most  dishonourable  Terms." 

His  treatment  of  Col.  Thomas  Westbrook,  with  whom  he  was  asso- 
I'i.'Ucd  in  some  of  his  enterprises  in  Maine,  was,  if  Rev.  Thomas  Smith 
■■ind  others  are  correct,  far  from  creditable.  "  Mr.  AYaldo  came  to  town," 
^ays  Smith,  in  his  diary,  under  date  of  June.  1743,  "with  an  execu- 
tion ;igainst  Col.  AVestbrook  for  ten  thousand  five  hundred  pounds  and 
<"liarges."  To  this  Judge  Freeman,  the  compiler  of  "  Smith's  Journal,"

note: — "He"  (Wostbrook)  "died  of  a  lirokea  heart  caused  by 
Waldo's  acts  who  led  iiiin  into  lar^o  land  speculations  and  then  sti-uck' 
ui)on  him  in  an  unfortunate  time;"  and  lion.  William  Goold  adds  :— 
"Waldo':-,  execution  swept  off  all  Col.  AVestbrook's  large  property, 
iucludiug  his  splendid  seat,  which,  with  all  his  other  lands,  were  set 
off  to  Waldo,  and  were  held  b}^  his  sons  for  many  years  after."  ^ 

It  would  perhaps  be  unjust  to  accept  Governor  Belcher's  accusations 
too  seriously,  as  they  were  made  during  the  heat  of  a  violent  political 
quarrel ;  but,  in  connection  with  other  testimony,  they  must  have  a 
certain  weight,  and  we  are  inclined  to  the  belief  that  Gen.  Waldo's 
talents,  great  and  brilliant  as  they  undoubtedly  were,  were  marred  by 
an  overpowering  ambition  and  avarice  which,  at  times,  made  him 
unscrupulous  in  the  means  he  employed  to  gain  his  ends. 

The  intentions  of  marriage  of  "Mr.  Sam'l  V.^aldo  of  Boston  and 
Mrs.  Lucy  Wainwright  of  Ipswich"  were  published  at  Boston,  June 
20,  1722.-  No  record  of  their  marriage,  which  probably  occurred  at 
Ipswich,  has  been  found.  She  was  daughter  of  Major  Frnncis  and 
Sarah  (Whipple)  Wainwright  of  Ipswich;  born  Apr.  30,  170-i,  at 
Ipswich  ;3  died  Aug.  7,  1741,  at  Boston.''  The  following  obituary 
appeared  in  the  Boston  Evening  Gazette  for  Aug.  10,  1741  : — 

«•  On  Frid^^v  Died  of  a  Cancer  iu  lier  Breast  Mrs.  Lucy  Waldo  late  V/ife  of 
Mr.  Samuel  Waldo  of  this  Place.  Merchant,  now  in  Europe:  the  beauties  of

none  of  her  sex  were  cxccll'd  by  those  of  her  Mind:  v.-here  Kcliirion  and 
Vertuc  Mere  most  happily  tempered  by  the  uncommon  Sweetness  of  her 
natnral  Disposition  for  the  Exercise  of  all  the  Duties  of  humane  Life.  The 
Accomplishments  render'd  her,  in  her  ^Laideu  State,  the  Delight  of  young  and 
old  of  both  Sexes,  and  in  her  marriaire  State,  a  most  amiable  Wife,  a  discreet 
and  an'eclionate  >rother,  a  good  ?*Iistre<;s,  an  agreeable  Companion  and  a 
valuable  friend.  She  had  during  several  of  her  Last  Weeks,  an  hard  Conflict 
with  her  Distemper,  amidst  the  Pains  of  which  she  possessed  herself  with  an 
unwearied  Patience  and  Christian  Ik-sii;nation  and  preserved  all  the  sweetness 
of  Temper  and  Manners,  which  was  peculiar  to  her  in  the  full  Enjoyment  of 
herlledth;  nor  could  her  Sickness  efface  the  agreeableness  of  her  Person, 
till  death  drev.-  the  Vail  over  it,  before  which  all  Beauty  must  fade,  that  is 
not  immortal,  and  set  her  Spirit  free  from  her  perishing  earthy  Tabernacle. 
to  enjov  that  unbodied  State  of  Being,  where  we  arc  assured,  the  Righteous 
rest  from  their  Labors  till  its  frail  Partner  shall  at  length  put  on  incorruptible 
Beauty,  and  be  inseparably  reunited  to  it  in  Life  eternal.  Her  Funeral  v.'il! 
be  atteudcil  this  afternoon." 

A  funeral  sermon,  on  the  occasion  of  her  death,  preached  by  Rev, 
Charles  Chauncy,  at  the  First  Church  in  Boston,  was  afterwards 
printed,  under  the  title,  "Joy,  the  duty  of  Survivors,  on  the  Death  of 
Pious  Friends  and  Relatives."

'J"!ia(UUus  Clark  of  Falmouth. i  'Mn  173G  a  large  tract  of  land 
was  ^[ranted  to  Edward  Tyinr  of  Boston,  merchant,  Teraitle  Nelson 
iiiul  Nathaniel  Aldcn  of  lioston,  for  themselves  and  others,  the  lieirs 
,.1  Col.  Edward  Tyng,  deceased;  John  Nelson,  Esq.,  deceased;  and 
('apt.  .lohii  Alden,  deceased;  in  consideration  for  the  deceased's 
extraordinary  sen-ices  and  sufferings;  thev  having  suflered  a  long 
and  tedious  captivity    in    France,    the    said    Col.    Tyng    dying    in    a 

dungeon  there."  " 

Edward  I'yng  passed  his  youth  in  the  fauiily  of  his  aunt  Ecl»ecca, 
wife  of  Gov.  .Joseph  Dudley,  until  he  v.-as  of  age  to  enter  a  seafaring 
life,  but  no  furtlier  records  of  his  early  life  have  been  found.  lie  is 
.said  to  have  commanded  the  ship  "  Massachusetts"  in  the  Port  Koyal 
Expedition  of  1707.  lu  the  list  of  "  Vessells  Entred  in  y'  T^Ionth 
April  1712"  at  the  Impost  Otliee,  Boston,  is  the  following :—"  y' 
L'.S""  ICdward  Tyng  y^  Brig"  Hope  from  Fyall  William  ^Vilson  I\I.erch'-'' 
and  Six  Marreners."^  In  Sewall's  diary,  under  date  Dec.  13,  1725, 
wo  learn  that  "  Capt.  Tyng  coming  in  yesterday  or  last  night  ran 
aground."  4  lie  was  perhaps,  at  this  time,  living  at  Weymouth, 
Mass.,  for  he  married  (1),  Jan.  8,  1725.  at  Boston,^  Eliza, 
daughter  of  Capt.  Cyprian  and  Elizabeth  Southack  of  Boston,  and 
widow  of  Francis  Parnel,  whom  she  married  Oct.  27,  1715,  at  Boston, ^ 
and  by  whom  she  had  one  son,  Frizzel,  born  July  28,  1720,  at  Boston."^ 
She  was  born  ^May  2,  1695,  at  Boston,^  and  is  said  to  have  died  at 
London,  Eng.  Both  she  and  Pxlward  Tyng  are  called  of  Weymouth 
in  the  record  of  their  marriage.  There  is  no  record  of  their  having 
had  children. 

After  his  marriage  to  Miss  Waldo,  Capt.  Tyng  seems  to  have  al)an- 
doncd  the  sea  for  a  time,  and  in  the  Boston  Gazette  of  Oct.  24-,  17o7,  he 
advertised  to  sell  various  diy  goods,  "  at  his  warehouse  in  Milk  Street 
near  the  old  South  Meeting  House,  Boston,  at  reasonable  Rates  by 
'vVliolesale  or  Retail."  His  shop  was  probably  in  his  house,  as  was 
liie  custom  in  those  days,  for  in  the  Boston  Post,  Aug.  9,  1736,  is  the 
following: — "  To  be  sold  by  Capt.  Edward  Tyng  at  his  House  in  IMilk 
Street  Boston  a  likely  well  set  Negro  I\[an  aged  about  22  years,  si)eaks 
good  English,  and  has  had  the  Small  Pox;  is  a  Black  Sinith  by  Trade, 
:it  which  he  works  very  well."  Perhaps  this  v.-as  "  Scipio,"  vrhom 
-Mrs.  Tyng  inherited  from  her  father.     In  1740,  however,  Capt.  Tyng

rotiiiiicd  to  lii.s  onrly  prulV'ssion,  under  citcumstanccs  which  oveiifuallv 
g;iiii(_'d  hiiii  great  renown  and  popuhirity.  By  commission  from  Gov. 
Belcher,  dated  Apr.  16,  1740,  lie  was  nppointed  Captain  of  the  South 
and  North  Batteries  and  P^ortificatioiis  in  Boston, •  and,  later  in  the 
same  year,  he  was  commissioned  to  command  the  Province  vSuow, 
"  Prince  of  Orange,"  then  building,  to  protect  the  coast  against  the 
pirates  and  Spanish  privateers,  which  were  doing  much  damage  to  the 
commerce  and  fisheries  of  New  England.  The  Province  had,  for 
many  years,  kept  a  small  vessel  in  coinmissiou  for  this  purpose,  whose 
commander  had  been  Capt,  Cyprian  Southack,  father  of  Capt.  Tyng's 
first  wife.  The  present  vessel  was  to  be  more  powerful  than  any 
hitherto  used,  and  is  thus  described  in  the  Boston  Post,  Sept.  1, 
1740:— 

"Last  Tuesday  [Au,a.  20,  1740],  the  Galley  built  by  Mr.  Benj.  Hallowell  at 
the  char:j;o  of  this  rrovincp.  for  the  Defense  of  our  Coast  was  lauuched  in 
the  view  of  a  prodigious  Number  of  People  who  were  assembled  on  that 
occasiou.  She  is  esteemed  a  very  fine  ship  by  f^ood  judges  and  v/as  built  and 
launehed  in  32  days  from  the  laying  of  tlie 'koel  nl'lho' live  of  the  said  Davs 
were  so  JJainy  tliot  very  litile  Work  was  done  in  them.  She  measures  180 
Tons,  mounts  10  Carriage  Guns  that  will  earry  a  Ball  of  six  Pounds  and  'tis 
said  she  is  to  earry  as  many  Swivels.  She  is  eomnianded  by  Capt.  fldward 
Tyng,  an  experieneed  Olhcer,  and  is  lltting  out  with  such  dilitrcnce  that  'tis 
said  she  will  be  lit  for  the  Sea  before  this  week  is  out.  She  is  called  the 
Prince  of  Orange  in  :\Icmory  Ave  suppose  of  our  glorious  Deliverer  King 
William." 

Whether  this  vessel  was  intended  or  used  at  first  for  anything  more 
than  defence  docs  not  appear,  but  that  she  was  later  meant  for  a 
''commerce  destroyer"  the  following  notice  shows: — 

"These  are  to  inform  all  Gentlemen  Sailors  and  all  other  aide  l)odied  men 
who  arc  desirous  to  eidist  f)n  board  his  J.tajestvs  Snow  Prince  of  Orange, 
under  my  Command  which  is  to  be  lilted  out  with  aU  Expedition,  that  the  Gen- 
eral Court  in  their  last  Session,  have  granted  to  the  Company  of  the  said 
Snow,  the  whole  of  all  vessels,  Stores  and  Goods  Avhich  may"  be  taken  by 
them;  and  for  a  further  iMicouragement  have  granted  Ten  jiounds  for  each 
Man  on  I»oard  any  Ship  of  War  or  Privateer  of  the  Enemy  who  shall  be  slain 
or  taken  Prisoner  by  said  Company:  Besides  which,  there  is  Five  Pounds 
Sterling  allowed  by  his  iMajcsty  for  each  man  slain  or  taken  as  aforesaid. 

Boston  Feb.  19,  1741.  EDWARD  TVNG."' 

Various  notices  appeared  in  the  contemporary  newspapers  of  the 
sailings  of  this  vessel  and  the  paying  off  of  her  crew  after  her  various 
cruises,  but  nothing  of  note  was  done  by  her  until  1744,  after  the 
declaration  of  war  with  France,  when  she  captured  a  French  privateer

of  superior  force,  au  event  which  created  the  greatest  enthusiasm  iu 
Boston.     The  Boston  Post  thus  descri1)es  the  aflfair: — 

"Last  Monday  in  the  afternoon  Capt.  T3'nc  in  our  Province  Snow  arrived 
here  from  a  short  Cnii/e  and  Itro't  in  with  her  a  french  Privateer  Sloop  of  S 
(Hrria^c  and  10  or  12  swivel  Guns  wilh<Jt  men  rai)t.  Dchibrot/,  Coniniander 
^vhich  he  liappily  met  wi'h  about  15  Leagues  from  Cajtc  Cod  about  9  o'clock 
on  S.iturday  inornini:  as  he  was  coming  in  from  Sea.  The  Frenchman  taking 
him  for  an  "inward  bound  Westindla  Man  (for  he  -wisely  kept  his  Guns  housed) 
stood  directly  for  him,  and  connnu'  pretty  near  gave  him  a  Gun,  Mhich  he  re- 
turned with  a  Broadside;  upon  which  the  Frenchman  tired  two  Guns,  then 
took  to  their  Oars  (there  being  but  little  V.'ind)  and  endeavored  to  get  away. 
This  obliged  Capt.  Tyng  to  )>iit  out  his  Oars  also,  and  after  a  liard  Chace  of 
12  or  13  Hours  (dr.rintr  ^vhich  Time  Capt.  Tyng  treated  his  Men  well  with 
IJ(|Uor,  and  encouraged  them  all  he  could)  he  came  ui>  with  the  Sloop,  and 
hHving  given  her  a  Broadside  and  n  Volley  of  Smnll  Arms,  they  cry'd  for  Quar- 
ters, imt  in  their  Panick  forgot  to  strike  their  Colours,  and  kept  them  flying 
till  some  of  our  brave  English  Lads  went  on  board  and  exchanged  them  for 
the  Kings  Colours.  Capt.Tyng's  Shot  hapned  to  be  so  well  placed,  that  the 
Sloop's  Sails  and  Rigging  -vvere  tore  all  to  pieces;  and  when  the  French  Cap- 
tain came  on  board,  he  gave  Capt.  Tyng  a  great  character  of  his  Gunner,  say- 
ing, he  was  the  best  tha\  he  ever  knew,  for  that  every  Shot  he  fired  during  the 
Chace,  took  Place,  and  did  him  some  Damage  in  liis  Sails  or  Ivigging.  One  Shot 
struck  the  .Mast  just  below  the  Hounds,  which  so  disabled  it,  th:U.  soon  after 
they  surrendered  it  broke  oli",  and  left  the  Sloop  witlioul  an  Inch  of  Sail  or 
liigging  st^juidiug;  so  that  Capt.  Tyng  was  obliijed  to  take  her  in  Tow,  or  he 
could  not  have  got  her  in.  As  the  French  tired  but  few  Guns  at  Capt.  Tyng, 
nnd  as  they  all  ran  dow  n  iu  the  Hold  when  he  was  about  to  tire,  it  is  not  much 
to  be  wondered  at  that  not  a  Man  was  kill'd  or  wounded  on  either  Side.  The 
Prisoners  were  all  landed  in  the  Evening  and  conducted  to  j'rison  under  a 
strong  Guard,  and  iu  the  Morning  about  50  of  them  were  removed  to  the 
Gaols' in  Cambridge  and  Charlestowu.  The  Fellows  are  all  as  merry  as  they 
arc  ragged,  and  seem  well  pleased  with  their  Circumstances,  declaring,  that 
they  live  better  here  than  they  did  at  Home,  except  live  of  the  late  Garrison  at 
Canso  wlio  entered  voluntarily  aboard  the  I'rivateer,  and  who  arc  now  sensi- 
ble that  they  liave  been  in  a  wrong  Box.  Tiie  Privateer  had  been  about  three 
Weeks  from  Lewisburgh,  and  had  plundered  and  destroyed  the  English  Set- 
tlement at  St.  Peter's  iu  Newfoundland,  where  they  kill'd  a  great  many  Cattle 
and  carried  off  about  40  Sheep,  several  of  which  they  had  upon  Deck  when 
taken,  and  about  40  Barrels  of  the  Beef  in  their  Hold,"  but  they  had  not  taken 
any  Vessel  since  they  came  upon  the  Coast;  They  could  have  token  several 
small  ones,  but  did  not  care  to  be  troubled  with  them;  they  wanted  some  rich 
Ships  either  inward  or  outward  bound  ;  and  the  day  before  Capt.  Tyng  met 
^^ith  them,  they  had  been  within  two  Leagues  of  the  Light  House,  and  had  their 
Eyes  upon  a  Ship  there  in  Nantaskct  Road,  but  were  discouraged  upon  seeing 
a  Vessel  with  a  Pendant  flying.  The  Captain  is  a  Gentleman  well  known  in 
Town,  and  has  a  Son  at  School  about  six  Miles  otV.  It  is  said  he  has  been  kind 
and  serviceable  to  the  English  upon  many  Occasions  at  Lewisburgh,  and  he 
Is  now  civilly  treated  himself,  being  at  Liberty  to  walk  about  as  he  pleases.  It 
is  allowed  by  all,  both  Frlmds  and  Enemies,  that  Capt.  Tyng  behaved  with 
Silent  Bravery  and  good  Conduct  during  the  whole  Engagcu'.eut  and  Pursuit; 
and  the  Town  are  so  sensible  of  his  Merit  and  of  the  Importance  of  his  Service 
to  the  Publick  that  at  an  adjournment  of  a  Meeting  of  the  Inhabitants  on 
Tuesday  last  [June  20,  1744J,  It  was  Unanimously  Voted,  That  the  Thanks 
'•f  the  Town  be  given  to  Capt.  Edward  Tyng,  Commander  of  the  Province

The  "Prince  of  Orange"  continued  in  the  service  of  the  Province 
until  she  was  lost  with  all  on  board  in  1745,'  but  Tyng  was  not  then 
in  command  of  lier,  for  "  as  soon  as  the  general  court  of  Massachusetts 
had  determined  on  the  bold  project  of  attempting  the  re(biction  of 
Louisbourg,  governour  Shirley  scut  for  captain  Tyng,  and  directed  him

in  '*  Life  of  Pepperell,"  p.  .00,  says  tliat  "  the  wliole  number  of  armed 
vessels  was  fourteen  and  the  number  of  guns  in  the  provincial  Heel  was 
nl)t)Ut  two  hinidred  and  four."  After  the  provincial  squa<lron  joined 
the  English  fleet,  the  whole  was,  of  course,  under  the  command  of  Sir 
I'eter  Warren,  the  English  commodore,  who,  it  is  asserted  by  Alden, 
on  what  authority  he  does  not  state,  directed,  in  general  orders,  that 
'I'vng  shou.ld  be  obeyed  as  commodore.-  Alden  and  nearly  all  later 
uuthorities,  apparently  following  his  lead,  state  that  the  French  man- 
of-war,  the  "Vigilant,"  sixty-f(mr  guns  and  five  hundred  and  sixl}' 
men,  whose  capture  off  Louisbourg,  May  20,  1745,  hastened  the  fall 
of  that  forti-ess,  surrendered  to  Tyng  in  the  "  Massachusetts  Frigate," 
but  that  Cajjt.  Rouse  has  been  generally  commended  for  it  to  the 
injury  of  Tyng,  The  story  of  this  capture  is  best  told  by  Tyng  him- 
self, in  a  letter  from  him  published  in  the  Boston  Gazette^  June  25, 
1745,  and  reprinted  in  Drake's  "  History  of  the  Five  Years  French 
and  Indian  "War,"  p.  209.     It  is  as  follows  : — 

"Extract  of  a  Letter  from  Capt.  Edward  Tyng  from  on  Board  the 
Massachusetts,  turning  out  CiKapperrouge  Bay  dated  ISIay  23^^  1745. 

'Sir  My  last  was  the  4"''  of  April  from  Caiiso,  since  wiiioh  have  been  at 
Sea,  and  had  no  Opportunity,  nor  any  Thing  inateiial  to  write  abont  'till  now. 

'  I  now  congratulate  you  on  the  gootl  News  of  onr  taking  a  French  Alan  of 
V/nr  of  64  Guns  and  ."jOO  Men  aliout  three  Days  ago,  (slie  is  quite  new). 

'  The  manner  of  Taking  her  was  thus:  The  Cominndore'  [Warren  in  the 
Siiperbe  of  CO  guns],  'the  Eltham'  [of  40  guns,  Capt.  Durell],  'and  the 
J.aunceston  '  [of  40  guns,  Capt.  Cidmady],  'lay  ofl'  Louisbourg  Harbor.  Mr. 
Warren  had  sent  the  Mermaid  '  [Capt.  Douglas,  40gnns]  '  to  cruise  further  to 
Windward;  about  One  in  the  Afternoon,  we  saw  the  Mermaid  and  French 
.ship  engaged,  they  were  standing  right  for  us,  'till  the  Frenchman  discover'd 
ns  t(j  be  English  :  We  all  gave  Chace,  but  House  in  the  Shirley-Galley,  being 
»  llvad  got  up  with  him  tir.st,  and  gave  him  several  Broadsides  into  his  Stern, 
Capt.  Durell  was  the  next  thai  gave  him  a  Broadside:  It  being  very  foggy 
and  Night  condug  on,  we  steer'd  by  the  Report  ol-  flash  of  the  Guns.  When 
the  brave  C<iramodore  got  alongside  of  him,  Yard-.Arm  and  Yaid-Ar:n,  they 
lired  so  bi'iskly  with  great  Guns  and  small  Arms,  that  tore  his  Rigging  &. 
Sails  all  to  Pieces.  His  Intention  Mas  to  board  the  Frenchman,  and  mine  the 
CoHunodore,  &  to  run  our  Men  over  him,  but  we  could  not  get  up  in  Time; 
our  Ship  sailing  much  worse  than  before  we  lost  our  Head  and  Bowsprit. 

■  The  Commodore  tired  one  l^roadside  into  him  after  they  had  struck,  he  not

"After  the  capture  of  the  great  French  ship,  the  Vigilant,  Coniniu- 
dore  Warren  proposed  to  Captain  Tyng  to  take  command  of  her  luulcr 
the  rank  of  Post  Captain  :  but  as  he  was  now  about  Go  years  of  age, 
he  did  not  think  it  prudent  to  accept  the  office,  but  rccofnn!endc(]  Capt. 
Rouse,"  1  who  has  by  some  been  given  undue  credit  for  the  capture  of 
the  "  Vigilant,"  a  credit  which  really  belongs,  by  Capt.  Tyng's  modest 
letter,  to  the  whole  lleet. 

In  confirmation  of  Capt.  Tyng's  account,  is  this  concise  statement 
in  the  "Journal  of  the  Siege  of  Louisbourg  "  : — "May  21.  A  letter 
came  to  the  General  from  the  Commodoie,  acquainting  him  he  had 
taken  the  Vigilant,  a  French  Sl)ip  of  sixty  four  guns;  besides  the 
Superb,  the  Mermaid,  Eltham,  Massachusetts  Frigate,  and  the  Shirley 
Galley,  were  all  in  the  engagement,  and  at  the  taking  of  her."  ~ 

The  command  of  the  "  Vigilant"  was  given  to  Capt.  Douglas  of  the 
"  Mermaid,"  but  House  was,  after  bearing  despatches  to  England, 
admitted  into  the  British  Navy  and  put  in  command  of  his  old  vessel, 
the  "  Shirley  Galley,"  which  had  been  purchased  of  the  Provincial 
Government.  ^ 

Capt.  Tyng  remained  in  command  of  his  vessel  for  another  year 
at  least,  as  in  the  Boston  Pot^t.,  Apr.  7,  174G,  is  an  advertisement 
of  "Edward  Tyng,  Commanding  His  Majesty's  Ship  Massachusetts," 
but  two  years  later,  Apr.  18,  1748,  the  same  paper  calls  Capt.  Benuet 
her  Commander,  and  meanwliile  Tyng  returned  to  his  old  business  and 
advertised,  "  At  Capt.  Edward  Tyng's  Vv^arehouse  in  Milk  Street  are 
to  be  found  sundry  sorts  of  English  Goods  also  Russia  Duck  Gun 
Powder  and  Nails."*  Apr.  10,  1719,  he  advertised  in  the  Boston  Post, 
"A  variety  of  China,  burnt  enameled  and  blue  and  white,"  and  Oct. 
30,  1749  ;  "  To  be  sold  by  Capt.  P^dward  Tyng,  good  Barbadoes  Aloes, 
by  the  Gorde,  at  20s.  per  Pound."  In  an  advertisement  in  the  Boston 
Post,  Nov.  0,  1750,  he  is  named  as  one  of  the  proprietors  of  tlie 
Kenuebeck  purchase  from  the  late  Colony  of  Plymouth.

of  Jeremial.  Allen,  deceasca,"  but  both  these  vefcrcoccs  may  be  to 
another  JiTcmioh.  If  he  was  the  Jeremiah  Allen  who  married  (2) 
Kli/,abeth  Oulton,  as  noted  later,  he  must  have  died  in  1750,  since  his 
s'on'.leremiah,  born  Sept.  1,  1750,  was  a  posthumous  child. 

No  actual  proof  has  yet  been  found  that  Abigail's  husband  was  the 
<;on  of  Jeremiah  and  Mary  (Caball)  Allen.  The  evidence,  which  is 
partly  contradictory,  is  wholly  circumstantial.  Ilcr  father,  Jonathan 
Waldo,  in  his  will  left  to  his  "  son  in  Uiw  Jeremiah  Allen,  £20,"  and 
lo  his  "Grand  Dancrhter,  Abigail  Allen,  one  gold  Watch,  a  Gold 
necklace,  one  silver  Tankard  holding  near  three  Pints,  one  Silver 
Porringer  and  three  Silver  Spoons  which  heretofore  belonged  to  her 

Mother  and further     ....     £1500     ...     . 

npon  her  attaining  the  age  of  Twenty  One  years  or  day  of  her  mar- 
riage."    As  all  the  other  daughters  of  Jonathan  Waldo  arc  accounted 
for,  it  must  have  been  Abigail  who  married  his  "  son  in  law  Jeremiah 
Allen  "  and  had  this  child,  his  "  Grand  Daughter,  Abigail  Allen."    IMr. 
Whitmore,  in  "  N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Register,"  vol.  xviii.,  p.  176,  says 
that  it  was  INIary  who  married  Jeremiah  Allen,  but  she  died  Jlch.  27, 
1709.     The  Boston  Records  contain  the  l)irths  of  but  three  Jeremiah 
Aliens  of  the  right  age  to  have  married  Abigail  V-'aldo.    One  of  these, 
born  June  11,  169^,^narried,  in  1722,  Rebecca  Kilby,  who  was  living 
in  17.34.     Ano'ther  was  born  June  21,  1702,  son  of  Jeremiah  and  .Mary 
Allen,  and  was  presumably  the  brother  of  the  third,  and  died  young. 
It  could  not  have  been  Jeremiah  Allen,  Sr.,  who  married  Abigail,  since 
his  wife  Mary  survived   him,  dying  in   1749.     The   will  of  Jeremiah 
Allen,  Sr.,  dated  June  26,  178(5,  probated  Jan.  27,  1741,  names— wife 
Mary;  son-in-law,  John  Wheelwright ;  daughter-in-law,  Mrs.  Tdartha 
Allen;  daughter-in-law,   Mrs.   Elizabeth  Allen;    grandson,   Jeremiah 
Wheelwright;   and  sons,  James   and    Jeremiah   Allen.     The    will    of 
Mary  Allen,  widow  of  Jeremiah  Allen,  dat^d  Aug.  2,   1749,  probated 
Aug.  22,  1749,  names— sons,  Hon.  James  and  Jeremiah  Allen;  grand- 
son, Jeremiah  Wheelwright ;   and  granddaughters,  jMartha  and  Mary 
Allen. »     From  there  being   no   mention  in   either  will  of  the  grand- 
daughter Abigail,  it  is  probable  that  she  had  been  cared   for  by  the 
WaMos  and  tiiat  the  Aliens  considered  that  she  had  been  sufficiently 
provided  for  by  her  grandfather,  Jonathan  Waldo.

Some  time  between  1750  and  1760,  Benjamin  ^Valdo  apparently 
gave  up  a  seafaring  life,  and,  Sept.  10,  175G,  in  company  wnth  John 
W;ddo,  his  brother  or  cousin,  purchased  a  distillery  near  the  '•  Flood 
Oatfs"  in  Boston.''  In  two  deeds  to  him  in  1759,  he  is  called  "dis- 
tiller," but  in  1761  and  in  all  deeds  thereafter  he  is  called  "merchant." 
Like  many  members  of  his  family  he  seems  to  have  had  a  penchant  for 
real  estate  and  he  invested  largely  in  moi'tguges  on  that  form  of  i)rop- 
•■rty,  there  being  sixty-four  conveyances  to  him  recorded  in  Suflolk

of  Dudley,  in  the  Common  Buryinp;  Ground,  and  there  he  was  prolci- 
hly  interred.  The  census  of  17;»0  says  he  was  living  in  Boston  with 
seven  free  white  females  in  his  family,  they  being  probably  his  sisters 
and  their  daughters.^

No  record  of  his  marriage  has  been  found  and,  as  he  evidently  left 
no  children,  it  is  probable  that  he  was  never  married.

in  Canterbury  for  the  rest  of  his  life;  but  may  have  lived  for  a  short 
time  at  Norwich,  since  Apr.  16,  1744,  "  Pxlward  ^Valdo  and  Abigail  his 
wife  of  Norwich  "  conveyed  six  acres  of  laud  in  Norwich  to  Bliss  Wil- 
loughby.  In  the  same  deed  they  refer  to  a  division  of  lands  formerly 
of  John  Elderkiu,  deceased.'*  If  he  ever  lived  at  Norwich  he  soon 
)noved  back  to  Canterbury,  since  Mch.  27,  1749,  "Edward  and  Abi-

thirty-two  acres  in  the  West  Society  of  Norwich  "  that  was  set  oft'  to

Canterbury,  conveyed  to  his  "  sons  Nathan  and  Zachariah

Tlierc  is  no  ivcoid  of  iiny  children  by  his  second  wife.  The  will  of 
Kdward  Waldo  of  Canterbury,  dated  Aug.  22,  1797,  probated  Oct. 
31,  1807,  names  —  sons  Zachariah  and  Nathan;  daughter  Abigail 
Johnson;  granddaughters  Mary  Waldo  and  Abigail  Potter;  and  wife 
Kuth.     Reuben  Harris,  executor. ^ 

It  is  quite  likely  that  Mr.  Vv'aldo  did  not  remove  to  Canterbury 
until  1744  or  1745,  as  three  of  his  children,  altliough  their  births  are 
recorded  only  at  Canterbury,  were  baptized  at  Scotland  Church.

bdbb.  Ann,  boru  Sept.  5,  1737,   bapt.   Sept.    11,    1737,  at  Scotland  Church.

died  June  11,  1S04,  place  unknown.^  He  lived,  at  first,  in  that  part 
of  Windham  which  is  now  Scotland,  and  was  one  of  the  first  com- 
municants of  Scotland  Parish,  and  Avas  present  at  the  first  gathering 
of  the  Church.  With  others  of  his  family,  he  took  an  early  part  in 
the  Separatist  movement,  and,  in  1746,  was  the  first  signer  of  a  state- 
ment of  reasons  for  dissent  from  tlie  Established  Church. ^  Jlch.  17, 
1747,  he  and  his  cousin  Zebulou  Kudd  [bed']  were  cited  to  give  their 
reasons  for  separating  from  the  Scotland  Church,  and,  refusing  to 
appear,  they  were,  tliree  months  later,  both  excommunicated.*^  It 
was  probably  at  this  time  that  he  removed  to  Canterbury,  Conn., 
where  his  son,  Isaac,  was  boru  the  following  year.  Four  of  his 
children  were  baptized  at  Scotland  Church. 

Mch.  18,  1746-7,  Cornelius  Vfaldo  of  Windham  purchased  of 
Solomon  Tracy  of  Canterbury  about  eighty  acres,  in  Canterbury. 
June  11,  1751,  Cornelius  Waldo  of  Canterbury  sold  laud  in  Canter- 
bury to  Eleazcr  Parke  of  Preston,  Conn.  June  7,  1763,  Cornelius 
Waldo  of  Canterbury  sold  to  Jonathan  Walden  of  Norwich  eighty 
acres  in  Canterbury,  the  same  farm  that  he  had  purchased  in  1747.''

■was  performed  by  Kev.  P^benezer  Devotion,  and  is  recorded  in  the 
records  of  Scotland  Church,  but  witliout  date.  Mr.  George  Waldo 
[bdiki]  gave  the  date  as  Feb.  3,  1731-5,  which  the  writer  accepted 
as  correct,  and  with  it  accepted  the  birth  of  a  son,  Cornelius,  Oct.  30, 
1735,  as  given  in  "  ^\^aldos  in  America,"  p.  85.  But  I\Ir.  Devotion  was 
not  called  to  the  Scotland  ministry  until  the  summer  of  1735,  and  was 
not  ordained  until  Oct.  22,  1735;  and,  as  there  is  no  record  in  either 
the  town  or  church  records  of  Windham  of  the  birth,  baptism  or  death 
of  any  child  of  Cornelius  and  A])igail  Waldo  before  the  birth  of 
Ircna  in  1738,  there  seems  to  be  no  reason  for  not  accepting  the 
evidence  of  the  Windham  Town  Records  as  final.

bclf.  PjKTnrKi,,  son  of  ICdward  (Johii,  Coynelinii)  and  Thankful 
(Diniinock)  Waldo;  born  June  10,  1719,  at  Windham,  Conn.;* 
died  Mcli.  2,  1S06,  at  Ellington,  Conn.-  Ills  father  conveyed  to  him, 
Mcli.  13,  17")1,  "for  love  t\nd  affection,"  a  farm  of  sevent}'  acres  in 
Tolland,  Conn.,  which  farm  JCdward  Waldo  purchased,  July  26,  1760, 
of  William  IJrown  of  Bolton,  Conn.*'  He  lived  for  some  time  in 
Tolland;  and,  perhaps,  removed  thence  to  Hartford,  Conn.,  since, 
Dec.  14,  1773,  William  lUickland  of  Hartford,  sold,  for  £30,  to 
Betluiel  Waldo  and  Bethuel  Waldo,  Jr.,  "  now  residing  in  Hartford," 
one-half  of  a  tract  of  sixty-nine  acres  in  East  Windsor,  Conn."*  Nov. 
18,  1(74,  Bethuel  Waldo  and  Betbuel  AValdo,  Jr.,  "late  of  East 
Hartford,"  conveyed  one-half  of  this  land  to  Benjamin  ISIunsell  of 
Willington  ;  and,  on  the  same  date,  Bethuel,  Senr.,  gave  a  quitclaim 
deed  to  his  son  for  the  other  half,  "with  a  mansion  bouse  thereon 
stajiding."  ^  It  is  not  clear  from  these  deeds  whether  the  description 
applies  to  both  father  and  son  or  not.  If  Bethuel,  Senr.,  did  ever  live 
in  Hartford,  be  ]'emoved  thence  to  Ellington,  and  there  jtassed  the 
rest  of  bis  life.  Apr.  22,  1790,  Ezra  Waldo  of  Ellington  leased  to 
Bethuel  Waldo  and  Lois  Waldo,  "both  of  Ellington,"  a  farm  of  six- 
teen acres  with  the  buildings  thereon,  in  Ellington,  which  the  said  Ezra 
had  bought  of  Asa  Waterman  of  Norwich,  Conn.  A  few  years  later, 
Ezra  was  in  financial  distress,  and,  Feb.  16,  1796,  Bethuel  Waldo 
and  "Lois  Waldo  his  wife"  of  Ellington,  gave  a  quitclaim  deed  of 
this  property  back  to  lOzra.^'  This  latter  deed  was  witnessed  by 
Frederick  Waldo  and  Eunice  Waldo.  We  have  in  these  two  deeds 
the  only  evidence  yet  found  that  Pvzra  was  son  of  Bethnel  and  Lois, 
since  his  birth  is  not  recorded  at  Windham,  Tolland,  or  Ellington. 
The  evidence  is  not  conclusive,  but  is   supported  b}'  family  tradition. 

Bethuel  Waldo  married  May  25,  1743,  at  Windham,''  Lois  Munsell, 
whose  birth  and  parentage  have  not  been  learned,  but  who  was  possibly 
a  daughter  of  Elisha  Munsell  of  Norwich.  She  died  May  4,  1808, 
at  Ellington.^

Au^.  23,  1814,  near  Bridgeport,  Harrison  County,  Va.,  now  West 
Virginia. 3  He  removed  from  Windham,  after  1762,  to  New  York 
State,  and  settled  in  Albany  County,  probably,  since  his  son,  John, 
says  that  he  was  living  in  that  county  when  he  enlisted  in  the  Revolu- 
tionary army.  Perhaps  he  is  the  John  Waldo  referred  to  in  the 
following  : — 

"  In  Council  of  Safety,  Sept.  6,  1777. 

"  M^  .lohn  Waldo  one  of  the  committee  of  St  Coik  (sic)  is  pennitted  To 
Take  John  Sessions  to  the  Committee  there." 

"Attest  IRA  ALLEN  Sec'y."* 

He  accompanied  his  son  John  to  Virginia  in  1791  or  1796,  and 
settled  near  Bridgeport,  Harrison  County,  in  vrhat  is  now  West  Vir- 
ginia, and  remained  there  until  his  death.  He  married  Mch.  14, 
17oO-l,  perhaps  at  Windham,  since  the  marriage  is  there  recorded, 
•Icmima,  daughter  of  John  (John,  John,  George)  Abbot r''  born  Mch. 
28,  1729;^  died  1815,  near  Bridgeport,  where  she  and  her  husl)and 
nve  buried,  and  where  "a  i)lain  slab  marks  their  resting  place."  ^ 
If  is  family  tradition  that  Jemima  Abbot  was  boru  within  a  very  few 
miles  of  Boston,  Mass.  Perhaps  she  was  born  at  Sudbury,  ]\rass., 
where  her  grandfather  settled,  about  1G96.^  It  is  also  family  tradition 
that  John  Waldo  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  but  positive 
proof  of  this  has  not  been  found.

of  years,  l)elng  described  as  a  "  tradci,"  in  deeds  in  wliicli  liis  name 
appears  during  iiis  residence  in  Worcester. 

Moll.  25,  1712,  Lis  father,  in  selling  an  estate  in  Worcester  to 
Daniel  Wilhu'd,  describes  it  as  "  a  certain  Messuage  or  Tenement  of 
Ilouseing  and  Laud  iScituate  in  Worcester  where  my  son  Cornelius 
Waldo  Jun'  now  dwells."'  This  lot  was  immediately  south  of  the 
present  line  of  Mechanic  Street  and  was  probably  at  the  corner  of 
Main  .Street.  His  name  appears  several  times  in  the  Worcester 
records.  Mch,  3,  1739-40,  "  Curneilus  waldo"  was  chosen  surveyor 
of  highways;  Mch.  2,  1740-1,  "  Cornelious  Waldo"  was  chosen  to 
the  same  oltice ;  jNIay  11,  1741,  "Cornelious  waldo"  was  granted  for 
"13  birds  heads,  0.  3.  0.";  Jan.  7,  1744-5,  "  mr.  waldo"  was 
placed  on  a  committee  "to  procure  Suitable  persons  as  Soon  as  may 
be  to  pieach  in  a  probationary  way  till  y"  Town  Shall  further  order." 
i\Iay  4,  1747,  the  town,  after  fixing  a  d;ite  for  the  insttillation  of  Kev. 
Mr.  Maccarty,  appointed  a  "  Comitte  "  of  which  "  Cornelius  waMo" 
was  a  member,  "  to  provide  for  the  handsome  Entertainment  of  Such 
Kev^  Gentlmen  &  the  Delegates  of  y"  Churches  to  be  sent  too  for 
that  purpose  &  for  Sucli  other  Gentl""  as  may  be  present  at  y"  Solemnity 
&  also  to  provide  pastering  for  their  horses  "  ;  Mch.  7,  1  747-S,  "  Votfd 
that  messrs  Corneilus  waldo,  John  Cliaddick  ifc  Joshua  ]]iglo  be  a 
Comitte  to  Setle  accots  with  the  Town  Tresr  and  make  Report."- 

After  this  date  his  name  disa])pear3  from  the  Worcester  records  and 
he  proltably  removed  to  Watertown,  Mass.,  at  al)out  this  time.  He 
certainly  had  left  by  Mch.  25,  1750,  when  "Cornelius  Waldo  Jun' 
late  of  Worcester,  Trader,"  conveyed  land  in  Worcester  to  his 
fatiier.''  Aug.  23,  1753,  "Cornelius  Waldo  of  Watertown,  shop- 
kee})er,"  conveyed  an  estate  in  Watertown,  and  in  several  deeds 
tittMcafter  he  is  called  of  Watertown,  but  described  as  "gentleman" 
and  may  have  retired  from  business.  One  of  these  deeds,  dated  Jan. 
IS,  17G'J,  is  signed  also  by  "  Hannah  Waldo  his  wife  in  b.iken  of  C(jn- 
sent."^  Dec.  5,  1769,  "Cornelius  Waldo  of  Watertown,  Gentleman, 
with  Hannah  his  wife,"  sold  a  dwelling-house,  barn  and  outhouses 
and  three-quarters  of  an  acre  of  land  in  Watertown.^  This  was, 
most  likely,  his  Watertown  residence,  and  he  probably  lemoved  not 
long  alter  to  Su<ll)ury,  where  he  was  living  Jan  31,  1771,  when 
"Cornelius  AValdo  of  Sudbury,  Shopkeeper,  and  Hannah  his  wife," 
together  with  his  brothers  and  sisters  conveyed  land  to  his  brother

No  further  records  of  him  have  been  found.  His  nephew,  Daniel 
Waldi)  ['•<:'/(/],  iri  his  manuscript  account  of  the  family  says  of  him: — 
«'He  was  educated  as  a  Merchant.  For  a  short  time  he  resided  in 
Worcester  and  married  the  Dauglitcr  of  Major  Ileywood.  She  lived 
Imt  a  short  time  and  died  childless.     He  then  removed  to  "Watertown 

nnd    married    of    Sudbury.     From    Watertown    he    removed    to 

Sudbury,  where    he   died  Feb.  4,    1782,   never  having  had  a  child." 

This  is,  in  the  main,  correct  but  his  first  wife  died  after  their  removal 
to  AV atcrtown  and  was  buried  in  the  old  burying-ground  there.  The 
following  is  the  inssriptiou  on  her  gravestone: — 

"  IIer«'  lies  Dm-ied  v"  [  Body  of  M''  Hannah  |  Waldo  y  wife  of  M'  |

Hannah,  daughter  of  Major  Daniel  and  Hannah  (Ward)  Heywood, 
was  born  Dec.  30,  1720,  at  Worcester.^  She  would  therefore  have 
lu'i'u  just  45  years  old  iu  December,  17C5,  and  she  was  undoubtedly 
the.  wife  of  Cornelius  Waldo,  though  no  record  of  the  marriage  lias 
vi  t  been  found.  Her  father,  son  of  Deacon  John  Heywood,  went  to 
Worcester  in  1718  and  died  Apr.  12,  1773,  iu  the  79th  year  of  his  age. 
Ib'r  mother,  Hannah,  daughter  of  Obadiah  Ward,  died  Feb.  21,  1700, 
in  the  Glth  year  of  her  agC^ 

"Mr.  Cornelius  Waldo  of  Watertown  and  Mrs.  Hannah  Peirce  of 
Lincoln,  Mass.  were  married  July  24,  17GG  at  Lincoln."^  Her  birth,

IJotli  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Austin  died  intestate.  Jnne  9,  ISOl,  John 
Knctland  of  An<lover.  INfass.,  was  appointed  administrator  on  li,,' 
estate  of  "Elizabeth  Austin,  late  ^-ife  of  lU-njamin  Austin  of  Bos- 
ton," P.enjamin  Austin  and  Jonathan-Loring  Austin  of  Boston  beiim 
his  sureties.*  The  reason  for  this  opi)ointment  does  not  appear. 
Perhaps  Mr.  Kneeland  was  her  son-in-law. 

Mr.  Austin  was  prominent  during  his  Avhole  life  and  foremost  iti 
town  affairs.  lie  was  selectman  from  1758  to  17C5  inclusive,  and  was 
again  elected  to  that  otiice  Mch.  10,  17G6,  but  declined  to  serve, 
whereupon  the  town  "voted  unanimously  that  the  Thanks  of  the 
Town  be  and  hereby  are  given  to  the  said  Joshua  Hcnshaw  &  Benjamin 
Austin  Esq'"  for  their  faithful  services  as  Selectmen  some  Years  past." 
The  following  year  he  was  chosen  an  overseer  of  the  poor,  but  was 
excused.  At  the  special  town  meeting  held  after  the  "Massacre,"  he 
was  on  the  committee  to  wait  on  the  Lieutenant-Governor  to  "request 
instant  removal  of  the  troops."  May  20,  1772,  he  was  on  the  com- 
mittee to  instruct  the  Representatives.  Nov.  5,  1773,  he  was  placed 
on  the  committee  to  "  wait  on  those  Gentlemen  who  it  is  reported  arc 
appointed  by  the  East  India  Company  to  receive  and  sell  Tea,  and  to 
request  them  from  a  regard  to  their  own  characters  and  the  peace  and 
good  order  of  the  Town  and  Province  iinmediately  to  resign  their 
appointment."  July  19,  1774,  lie  was  on  a  "Committee  on  Ways 
and  ]\Ieans  "  to  employ  those  thrown  out  of  employment  by  the  Boston 
Port  Bill.  Dec,  1774,  he  was  on  a  committee  of  "  Inspection  &  to 
cany  the  Resolutions  of  the  Continental  Congress  into  Execution." 
May  23,  1770,  he  was  elected  representative,  but  was  soon  after 
"chosen  into  the  Hou'''«  the  Council  of  the  Colony."  In  addition  to 
these  he  held  many  other  minor  positions. - 

Mr.  Daniel  Waldo  [ca/^/'J,  says  that  they  had  nine  children,  but  the 
))irths  of  but  four  are  recorded  in  lioston,  and  the  baptisms  of  eight 
only  ma  recorded  in  the  records  of  the  First  Church.

In  the  Hmise  of  Kep''"  June  27,  1740  Read  and  Committed  to  Col'  Stonr 
Brigadier  Gen'  Waldo  and  Col"  Buekminster  to  Consider  and  Report  tliercna. 

His  nephew  says  that  he  once  commanded  the  Cadet  Cojnpany, 
otherwise  called  the  Governor's  Guards,  but  of  this  no  other  testimony 
lias  been  found.  He  became  a  mcrcbaut  in  Boston,  and  is  so  described 
in  various  dc'cds  and  legal  papers  ou  record  iu  the  Registries  of  Deeds 
and  of  Probate  in  Suffolk  County.  He  is  so  described  in  a  deed  given 
by  liimself  and  Faith  Cookson,  July  4,  17G1;  but  a  mortgage  given 
Apr.  iHl,  17G3,  to  Thomas  Waldo  of  Boston,  merchant,  was  discharged, 
Mch.  2'5,  17G.S,  ou  the  margin,  by  Tiiomas  Waldo  of  Newton;  and, 
Dec.  25  and  Dec.  20,  1709,  he  gave  two  deeds,  iu  both  of  which  he  is 
called  of  Newton,  gentleman.  In  a  deed,  dated  Jan.  31,  1771,  he  is 
again  called  of  Boston,  merchant. ^     It  would  appear,   therefore,  that

some  time  between  17(M  and  1768  he  gave  up  liis  busincsB  in  Boston 
ond  \vent  to  Ne\vton,  but  had  retiuncd  to  Boston  and  had  resumed 
business  before  1771.  At  a  meeting  of  the  Selectmen  of  IJoston, 
Aug.  17,  1774,  Thomas  Waldo  was  "approbated  to  Belail  "  [liquors] 
"  at  his  8hop  near  y'  Long  Wharff."  IMch.  11,  17C.5,  at  l^oston  town 
meeting,  he  was  chosen  one  of  the  wardens  for  the  year  ensuing. ^ 

He  was  named  in  his  brother  John's  will,  but  survived  him  less  than 
a  month.     He  was  never  married. 

caf.  John,  son  of  Cornelius  (Gorm'Jius,  Cornelius)  and  Faith 
(Savage)  Waldo;  born  Oct.  30,  1720,  at  Boston.  Mass.;  ^  died  June 
10,  I7W),  at  Boston.^  The  first  heard  of  him  is  in  174.S,  when  his 
brotlicr-in-law,  Obndiah  Cookson.  pul)lioly  advertised  that  he  had  been 
violently  assaulted  by  his  wife's  brother,  John.^  The  following  year 
we  find  him  in  the  hardware  business  with  his  brother  Daniel  "  at  their 
Shop  the  South  Corner  of  the  Court  House,  near  the  Stone  Cutters 
Yard."'-  He  soon  after  separated  from  his  brother  and  succeeded  to 
his  father's  business  and  advertised  in  the  Bo.'^ton  Fosi,  Oct.  1,  1750, 

•'  To  be  sold  bv  John  AValdo,  .at  his  ^YaI•c>bouse  N?  17  on  the  Lonp:  Wharf, 
opposite  to  the  "first  Cr.^ue,  very  cheap  for  Cash,  Jamaica  Sugar,  Molasses, 
West  ludia  and  New  Engknd  Piinu"  etc. 

He  seems  to  have  been  prosperous,  owning  much  real  estate  in 
Boston,  Worcester  and  Holden,  Mass.,  which  he  obtained  partly  by 
inheritance  from  his  father  and  partly  by  purchase.  ^Vith  his  brother 
'i'homas  he  was,  after  his  mother's  death,  administrator  on  both  his 
father's  and  his  mother's  estates.  He  does  not  appear  to  have  been 
prominent  in  town  affairs  and  his  name  appears  but  seldom  in  the 
]k)ston  Becords.  His  name  appears  among  many  others  who  signed 
a  petition,  December  19,  1760,  to  the  General  Court  regarding  the 
appropriation  by  officers  of  the  Crown  of  moneys  belonging  to  the 
Brovince.*^  His  name,  with  that  of  his  brothers,  Joseph  and  Daniel, 
is  on  the  list  of  the  Sons  of  Liberty  who  dined  at  Dorchester,  Aug. 
M,  1769,  to  celebrate  the  resignation  of  Gov.  Bernard."  Aug.  26, 
1776,  he  (from  Ward  5),  was  on  a  committee  to  make  house  to  house 
inquiries  regarding  small-pox.  Aug.  19,  1776,  he  was  drawn  as 
''Jury  Man  for  the  Court  Erected  for  the  tryal  of  Vessels  tliat  shall 
be  found  infesting  the  Sea  Coast  of  America."     Dec.  19,  1776,  John

Waldo  of  AVnrcl  1 1  was  draugbted  for  the  army.'     Thus  there  appear 

to  have  been  two  John  Waldos  in  Boston  in  1776,  and  it  is  not  clear 

which  is  the  one  in  consideration,  but  it  is  {)robable  that  the  one  from 

Ward   11,  who  was  draughted,  was  John,  sou  of  John  and  Hannah 

(Gold)  Waldo  [bban^. 

In  the  Boston  Directory  for  178'J  his  name  appears  as  "John  ^Valdo, 

shop-keeper,  No.  60  Nowbury-street,"  and  in  that  for  179G  as  "John 

Waldo,  esq.   No.   19.   Newbury  sti'eet."     In  the  census  of   17;)0   his 

family  consisted  of  two  free  white  males  of  sixteen  years  and  upwards 

and  two  free  white  feznales  ;   including  probably  himself,  his  brother 

Thomas   and  his  tv^o   nieces,  Lydia  and   Elizabeth   Cookson,   one  of 

whom   we  know,  from   his   will,  was  li%'ing   with  him  in    1791.     Tiie 

I)Os(on  Gazette  of  June  13,  1796,  thus  notices  his  death: — 

"  Died,  On  Fridfij'  evening,  Jolui  Waldo.  Esq.  Aet.  76.  His  fuueral  will

■without  a  more  particular  invitation.'" 

His  will,  dated  July  4,  1791,  >Yilh  a  codicil  dated  June  8,  1796,  was 
probated  June  21,  1796. ^  Jt  names — his  brother  Thomas;  niece, 
Elizabeth  Cookson ;  John-Waldo  Cookson,  son  of  nephew  Samuel 
(Jookson  ;  brother  Joseph,  late  of  Bristol,  England,  now  of  Boston, 
merchant;  lirother  Daniel  Waldo  of  Worcester;  sister  Elizal)eth 
Austin,  wife  of  Benjamin  Austin,  Knq. ;  sister  Lydia  Austin,  widow 
of  Timothy  Austin,  late  of  Boston,  deceased;  the  children  of  late 
sister,  Faith  Cookson,  deceased,  viz. :  Nephew  Samuel  Cookson, 
niece  Elizabeth  Cookson,  and  niece  Lydia  Cookson  of  Bristol,  JMig- 
land.  In  the  codicil  he  mentions  his  portrait,  and  leaves  to  the 
"  Deacons  of  the  Congregational  Church  and  Society  usually  meeting 
in  the  New  South  Meeting  House  three  hundred  and  fifty  dollars,  the 
intert'st  of  same  to  be  used  for  the  more  comfortable  support  of  such 
persons  lielonging  to  said  Church  as  in  their  discretion  are  the  licst 
objects  of  their  charity."  His  estate  was  inventoried  at  $11,790.43. 
In  the  account  of  the  executors,  allowed  Apr.  25,  1797,  are  charged 
the  expcn.^es  for  nursing  and  funeral  of  Thomas  Waldo,  his  In-other.

I):iniol  Waldo  [cahf]  says  that  they  had  one  child,  who  died  in  infancy, 
l)ut  its  birth  is  not  recorded  in  IJoston. 
John    Waldo  was  commissioned   justice  of  the    peace   for  Suffolk 

X,.v.  12,  1761.1 

cag.  Joseph,  son  of  Cornelius  (CorneJlus,  Cnrnelivs)  and  Faith 
(Savage)  Waldo;  born  Jan.  11,  17-22,  at  Boston,  Mass.;^  died  Oct. 
1>7,  IMG,  at  Cheltenham,  England,  according  to  Sabine 3  and  others; 
but  in  ISll,  act.  90,  according  to  Jones  in  his  "  Notes  on  the  Family 
of  \Valdo."  He  was  educated  in  the  Boston  Latin  School,  being  a 
member  of  the  class  of  1730,^  and  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in 
1741,  taking  the  degree  of  A.M.  He  was  for  a  considerable  period 
the  oldest  living  graduate.  _ 

Mch.  28,  1746,  he  was  commissioned  first  lieutenant  in  Brig.-Oen. 
Waldo's  [Ih^  company  in  the  Second  Massachusetts  Regiment,^  but 
whether  he  was  in  tlie  Louisbourg  campaign  does  not  appear.  He 
afterwards  became  a  merchant,  and  was  in  business  in  IJoston,  with 
his  brother  Daniel,  in  general  hardware,  their  shop  being  «•  opposite 
to  the  South  East  Corner  of  the  Town  House  in  King  Street,  at  the 
sign  of  the  Elephant,"  as  appears  in  many  advertisements  in  the 
newspapers  of  the  time,  the  earliest  one  found  being  in  the  Boston 
Gazette  of  May  24,  1748.  This  partnership  continued  until  Nov.  11, 
1770,  when,  liaving  released  -  all  his  right  and  title  to  any  part  of  the 
slock  in  trade  belonging  to  the  late  Company  of  Joseph  and  Daniel 
AValdo  unto  the  said  Daniel  Waldo,"  he  received  from  the  latter,  with 
his  wife  Rebecca,  a  conveyance  of  certain  land  in  Holden  and  Worces- 
ter, Mass.,  "set  otT  to  the  said  Joseph  and  Daniel  as  part  of  their 
Father  Cornelius  Waldo's  Estate  as  tenants  in  common."  The  estate 
in  Worcester,  being  a  farm  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres,  he  sold 
Apr.  22,  1771,  to  John  Hancock  of  Boston.^ 

Joseph  Waldo's  name  appears  frequently  in  the  Town  Records  of 
Boston.  Mch.  9,  1752,  he  was  chosen  constable,  but  was  excused 
from  serving  on  the  payment  of  three  pounds  lawful  money.  In  175o, 
•5G  and  '57  he  was  chosen  clerk  of  the  market,  but  in  the  last  year 
was  excused  from  serving.  In  17G3  he  was  among  those  invited  by 
the  selectmen  '^  to  visit  the  publick  Schools  in  the  Town  and  to  Report 
thereon."  In  17G4,  'Go  and  '6G  he  was  appointed  by  the  selectmen  to

Thanks  of  tlic  Town  be  given  to  the  said  M'.'  A\'aldo  for  his  faithful 
Services  as  an  Overseer  of  the  Poor  in  Years  past."  In  17G7  he  was 
chosen  warden  and  in  17G8  he  was  chosen  on  "a  Committee  to  take 
Subsci-iptions  of  such  persons  as  shall  incline  to  encourage  the  carry- 
ing on  the  i\Ianufactory  of  Duck."' 

lie  does  not  appear  to  liave  had  the  family  hunger  for  land  and  Ijut 
few  deeds  of  his  are  on  record  either  in  vSuffolk  or  Worcester  Counties. 
It  is  not  clear  just  when  or  why  he  went  to  England.  If  he  v.-ent  in 
1771,  he  may  have  returned  soon  after,  since,  Apr.  12,  1775,  in  Pro- 
vincial Congress,  Mr.  Josepli  Waldo  was  chosen  one  of  the  committee 
of  live  from  Eincoln  County  to  receive  reports  from  the  Committees  of 
C'onespondence  and  report  to  Congress ;  -  but  he  was  in  London  in 
177G,  when  he  was  a  member  of  a  "  New  England  Club  of  Loyalists 
\n  London."  ^ 

In  earlier  years  he  was  rather  inclined  toward  tlie  popnh\r  side  :  and 
in  17G!)  he  was  one  of  a  committee  to  sign  a  letter  to  Dennis  DePordt, 
the  Colony's  Agent  in  England,  protesting  against  the  revenue  acts;^ 
and  he  was  one  of  the  "Sons  of  Libert}'"  who  dined  at  Dorchester, 
Aug.  14,  17G9,  to  celebrate  tlie  resignation  of  Gov.  Bernard.^  It  is 
quite  likely  that  he  v/ent  to  England  more  from  dissatisfaction  with 
the  state  of  trade  in  New  England  tlian  from  a  sense  of  loyalty  or  as 
a  refugee.  No  evidence  has  been  yet  found  that  his  property  was 
confiscated. 

He  settled  in  Bristol,  Eng.,  and  became  a  merchant  there.  lie 
afterwards  returned  to  Boston;  and  he  was  certainly  there  in  1791,  for 
his  brotlier  John,  in  his  will  of  July  4,  17'»1,  names  his  "  brotiier 
Josejih  late  of  Bristol  p^ngland,  now  of  Boston,  merchant."  Aug.  -, 
1791,  Alice  Collins  of  Ivoxbury,  spinster,  conveyed  to  Joseph  Waldo 
of  Ivoxbury,  merchant,  an  estate  in  Koxbury.  It  may  have  been  he 
or  his  son  who  witnessed  a  deed  given  by  his  brother  John,  June  1<'^, 
1795.'^     Ill-  eventually  went  back  to  Bristol  and  was  there  Apr.  IH,

"'Here  lies  the  mortal  remains  of 

JOSEPH     W  A  L  D  0  ,     ESQ., 

An  American  Mercliaut,  born  in  the  town  of  Boston, 

In  America,  in  the  year  of  oiu'  Lord,   1723, 

From  Viheuce  he  came  to  England. 

After  residing  at  Bristol  a  number  of  years,  traveling 

through  various  parts  of  the  kingdom,  he  retired  to 

this  town,  where,  after  a  patient  endurance  of  the 

inJlrmities  of  old  age,  he  departed  this  life 

o 

Like  autumn  fruit  mellovi'cd  long. 
Even  wondered  at  that  he  fell  not  sooner; 
Fate  seemed  to  wind  him  up  for  four  score 
Years,  yet  freely  ran  he  ou  ten  winters  more; 
'Till,  like  a  clock  worn  out  with  eating  time. 
The  Wearied  wheels  of  life  at  last  stood  still.' 

"  Upon  inquiry  I  found  that  he  was  alive  in  that  town;  that  it  was  indited 
and  erected  under  his  inspection,  to  be  litted  up  with  dates,  after  his  decease, 
by  his  sou,  who  was  living  in  Bristol.  I  visited  him  ;  found  him  in  a  very  in-

(Savage)  Waldo ;  born  Oct.  29,  1724,  at  Boston,  Mass. ;  ^  died  Dec.  8, 
1808,  at  Worcester,  Mass.,''  and  is  interred  at  Rural  Cemetery.  He 
became  a  hardware  merchant  in  Boston,  and  was  for  a  time  associated 
in  this  business  with  his  brother  John  '^  at  their  Shop  the  south  corner 
of  the  Court  House,  near  the  Stone  Cutters  Yard,"  and  with  his  brother 
Joseph  "at  the  sign  of  the  Elephant  opposite  the  South  East  Corner 
of  the  Town  House  in  King  Street."^  The  former  partnership  was, 
l)robably,  soon  dissolved ;  the  latter,  whose  first  advertisement  found 
was  in  the  Boston  Gazette,  Jlay  24,  1748,  continued  until  1770,  as 
has  been  told  in  the  biography  of  Joseph  Waldo  [car/]. 

In  177C  he  removed  from  Boston  with  his  family  to  Providence  in 
the  Colony  of  Rhode  Island,^  but  seems  to  have  remained  there  but  a 
short  time,  for,  Mch.  15,  1777,  '•  Daniel  Waldo,  late  of  Boston,  Mer- 
chant," bought  of  "  John  Sprague  of  Lancaster,  Gentleman,"  a  house 
and  about  three  acres  of  land,  in  Lancaster,  by  the  river.'  This  house 
is  etill  standing.  Here  he  lived  until  his  removal  to  Worcester  about 
1782,  when  he  opened  a  store  at  Lincoln  Square,  near  the  bridge  over 
Mill  Brook,  and  advertised  in  the  Massachusetts  Spy,  June  G,  1782,  as

He  soon  after  took  his  son  Daniel  into  partnership  with  him, 
:\i\(\  tiicy  advertised,  July  21,  1785,  in  the  Sj^;/  "at  their  store  on 
the  east  side  of  the  Bridge  and  opposite  the  Prison."  He  built 
for  his  store  the  llrst  briek  blork  in  Worcester,  on  the  site  afterwnrds 
oeeupied  by  Henry- >V.  Miller,  and  now,  1900,  by  P^lwood  Adams 
for  a  hardware  store,  it  being  more  than  a  hundred  years  that 
tliis  site  has  been  used  for  tlie  same  business.  The  firm  of  Daniel 
Waldo  &  Son  was,  however,  dissolved  Dec.  31,  1701,  the  son  con- 
tinuing the  business. 1  In  1786,  during  the  Shays'  Rebellion,  Mr. 
Waldo  had  a  narrow  escape  from  Lynch  law  at  the  hands  of  a  paj'ty 
of  the  insurgents  Avho  were  occupying  the  "Hancock  Arms."  The 
incident  as  related  in  Lincoln's  "  History  of  Worcester,"  p.  Ho,  is  as 
follows  : — 

"  Soon  after  partaking  the  refreshment  which  was  soine  times  used  by  the 
military,  before  the  institution  of  temperance  societies,  several  of  the  men 
were  seized  with  violent  sickness,  and  a  rumor  spread,  that  poison  had  been 
minified  with  the  fountain  which  supplied  their  water.  Dr.  Samuel  Stearns 
of  Taxton,  astrologer,  almanac  manufacturer,  and  quack  by  profession, 
detected  in  the  sediment  of  the  cups  tlicy  had  drained,  a  substance,  Mhich  he 
unhesitatingly  pronounced  to  be  a  compound  of  arsenic  and  antimony,  so 
deleterious,  that  a  sin^cle  grain  would  extinguish  the  lives  of  a  thousand. 
The  numbers  of  the  afflicted  increased  Avilh  frightful  rapidity,  and  the  symp- 
toms grew  more  fearful.  It  was  suddenly  recollected  that  the  sugar  used  iu 
their  beverage,  liad  been  purchased  from  a  respectable  merchant  of  the  town, 
(the  late  D.-iniel  Waldo,  sen.  Esq.)  whose  attachment  to  government  was  avcU 
known,  and  the  sickness  around  was  deemed  proof  conclusive  that  it  had 
been  adulterated  for  their  destruction.  A  file  of  soldiers  seized  the  seller, 
and  brought  him  to  answer  for  the  supposed  attempt  to  luurder  the  levies  of 
rebellion.  As  he  entered  the  house,  the  cry  of  indignation  rose  strong.  For- 
tunately for  his  safety.  Dr.  Green  of  Ward,  an  intelligent  practitioner  of 
medicine,  arrived,  and  the  execution  of  vengeance  was  deferred  until  his 
opinion  of  its  propriety  could  be  obtained.  After  careful  inspection  of  the 
suspected  substance  and  subjecting  it  to  the  test  of  ditlcrent  senses,  he 
declared  that,  to  the  best  of  his  knowledge,  it  was  genuine,  yellow,  scotch, 
i^iiuff.  The  reputed  dying  raised  their  heads  from  the  (loor :  the  slightly 
ndectcd  recovered:  tlie  gloom  which  had  settled  heavily  on  the  supposed 
victims  of  mortal  disease  was  dispelle<l,  an<i  the  illness  soon  vanished.  Strict 
inquiry  furnished  a  renscMiable  esplan.-itiou  :  a  clerk  in  the  store  of  the  mcr- 
chHut  liad  opened  ••>  packnge  of  the  fragrant  commodity,  in  the  vicinity  of  the 
sugar  barrel,  and  a  portion  of  the  odoriferous  leaf,  had,  inadvertently,  been 
scHttered  from  the  countt.-r  into  its  uncovered  head.  A  keg  of  si>irit  was 
accepted  in  full  satisfaction  for  tlie  paiuc  occasioned  by  the  decoction  of 
tobacco  so  innocently  administered.'"^

p.  l.')2,  Mr.  Knowltun,  Iho  auLlior,  says:  — 

"My  f;itlicr  knew  tlic  older  Waldo.  He  said  tliat  ho  moved  from  r.osLon 
to  Worcester  ■while  Uie  War  of  the  l\ovoliUiou  ^vas  in  proicress ;  and  that,  sn 
far  ns  he  remembered, — for  he  was  but  a  lad  then, — .Mr.  Vv'aldo'.s  sympathies 
were  with  the  tory  side.  Ifo  was  siiokeu  of  also,  l)y  tlie  people  of  that  dny, 
as  'aristocratic'  iu  Ids  tnstcs  and  habits;  and  there  were  many  caiisiie 
remarks  made  upon  his  cxtravauance  in  ovvninti;  a  one-horse  chaise.  I  sup- 
pose from  that  circunistance  that  there  Avas  no  other  one  iu  town  at  that 
time." 

Mr.  AVaklo  docs  not  appear  to  have  been  active  in  town  affairs  in 
Boston  until  the  latter  part  of  his  residence  there.  Mch.  14,  ]70.'], 
he  was  chosen  one  of  the  twelve  wardens.  Feb.  12.  1765,  he  was 
selected  to  represent  Ward  10  in  "  a  General  Walk  or  Visitation  of  the 
Town."  iMch.  19,  1771,  "The  Town  brought  in  their  Votes  for  an 
Overseer  of  the  Poor  in  the  room  of  M'.  Joseph  Waldo  who  has  resigned, 
and  upon  sorting  thcrn,  it  appeared  that — M'.  Daniel  Waldo  was 
chosen  an  Overseer  of  the  Poor  for  the  year  ensuing."  This  office  he 
continued  to  hold  until  Nov.  11,  177G,  v.hen  "The  Town  bro'tin  their 
Votes  for  an  Overseer  of  the  Poor,  in  tlie  Poom  of  M'.  Daniel  Waldo, 
who  has  not  returned  from  the  Country,  & — On  a  motion  made,  Voted, 
that  the  Thanks  of  the  Town  be,  &  herel)y  are  given  to  M'.  Daniel 
Waldo  for  his  faithful  Services,  as  an  Overseer  of  the  Poor  for  a 
Nunil)cr  of  Years  past."  May  11,  1773,  he  was  chosen  to  represent 
Ward  ]0  on  a  eomniiltee  "  to  attend  the  Committee  on  Lamps  when 
about  to  fix  upon  the  Places  for  erecting  said  Lamps."  July  19.  1771, 
at  an  adjournment  of  the  so-called  "Boston  Port  Bill  Meeting"  lie 
was  chosen  one  of  a  committee  to  nominate  a  Committee  on  Ways 
and  Cleans,  and  Oct.  25,  1774,  he  was  added  to  the  "  Comittee  to 
consider  of  Ways  &  Means  for  employing  the  Poor  Sufferers  liy  the 
Operation  of  the  Boston  Port  Bill."  '  His  name  appears  seldom  in  the 
Suffolk  Registry  of  Deeds.  In  the  Record  of  Bounds  and  Valuations 
for  1798  he  is  given  as  owner  of  an  estate  on  Common  Street,  valued 
at  8900. 

In  tlie  Worcester  Records,  Mr.  Waldo's  natne  occurs  frequently. 
In  17N5  it  was  on  the  Jury  list;  and  Nov.  7,  1785,  he  was  placed  on  a

Unlike  his  father,  Mr.  Waldo  was  not  a  large  investor  in  real  estate, 
and  his  transactions  are  neither  nnnierous  nor  important.  The  estate 
that  he  purchased  in  Lancaster  and  where  he  resided  for  a  few  years, 
he  advertised  in  the  ^[assachllset(s  Sjv/  in  1781),  and,  Jan.  30,  171)3,  he 
sold  it  to  Joseph  Wales  of  Lancaster  for  £300.  2  May  8,  1790,  he 
purcliased  of  John  and  :Mary  Wallcer  of  Worcester,  for  £300,  a  lot  of 
hind  about  fifty  rods  south  of  the  Court  House  on  tiie  west  side  of  the 
county  road  (now  ]\[ain  Street)  and  bounded  eight  rods  less  four  links 
on  said  road,^  and  ^L^y  20,  1791,  he  bought  of  the  State,  through  t!ie 
couimittec  to  sell  estates  of  absentees,  a  i)iece  of  land  adjoining  his 
former  purchase,  extending  7G  feet  further  south.  This  is  where  he 
Iniilt  the  brick  block  previously  mentioned.  In  178G  Daniel  Waldo 
was  owner  of  100  acres  of  land  in  Talmer,  Mass.,  but  whether  this 
was  the  subject  of  tbo  present  memoir  is  uncertain. 

Mr.  Vv''aldo  was  admitted  into  the  First  Church,  Boston,  Apr.  25, 
17JG,  and  his  children  were  all  baptized  there.  At  a  town  meet- 
ing in  Worcester,  July  7,  1783,  "  The  Pews  were  sold  in  presence  of 
the  Town— The  one  adjoining  The  broad  Isle  on  the  womens  side  to 
ir  Dix  for  £43 — The  one  adjoining  The  broad  Isle  on  the  other  side 
to  MHJan'  Waldo  for  £43." -• 

The  following  obituary  was  published  in  the  ^fas.mch^^spJ.ts  Sp>/y 
Dec.  21,  1808,  and  is  perhaps  the  only  extant  testimony  to  his  char- 
acter :

Iqcu  more  tlian  accomplished.  At  the  age  of  foiu-scorc  and  four  years,  he 
was  rather  the  conqueror  than  the  victim  of  deatli.  Few  of  liis  early  friends 
ntlcnded  Ills  interment;  for,  alas!  most  of  tliosc  who  bad  been  the  companions 
of  his  juvenile  amusements,  and  the  witnesses  of  the  purity  and  sobriety  of 
his  youth,  had  before  him  entered  the  silent  tomb;  but  their  children  and 
cliildrcn's  children  Avho  followed  his  bier  testified  their  resiicct  for  his  char- 
acter. Established  in  the  belief  of  revelation,  his  early  Christian  profession 
was  uniformly  supported  by  Christian  iiracticc.  His  life  was  devoted  to 
useful  pursuits,  to  the  culture  of  his  reason,  thediscipline  of  his  passions,  and 
to  the  confirmation  of  hal)its  of  piety  and  Christian  virtue.  All  Avho  were 
conversant  with  Mr.  Waldo  in  busy  life,  will  boar  testimony  that  inte^rrity 
ever  marked  his  conduct.  As  a  merchant  he  -was  iutellijj:ent,  correct  and 
liberal;  as  a  man,  in  his  social  relations  he  fuiniled  all  which  justice  could 
(h'lniind  or  benevolence  dictate;  as  a  citizen,  he  was  distin^■ui^hed  for  patriot- 
ism, for  an  ardent  and  j,dowin.c  zeal  for  his  country's  welfare;  as  a  husband,

at  Dorchester,  Aug.  li,  1760,  to  celebrate  the  departure  of  (lov. 
Bernard.  "  There  is  no  evidence  that  the  accusation  of  his  liavin;^ 
sympathized  witii  the  tories  during  the  Revolution,  is  just.  His  sym- 
pathy, if  there  was  any,  must  have  been  very  lukewarm.  His

of  Cornelius  (  ConicUns)  to  bear  the  name  of  Vv'aldo  in  this  country.  She. 
Avitii  her  sisters  Elizabetli  and  Kebecca,  Avas  admitted  to  the  Uld  South 
Church,  Boston,  Meh.  28,  18)9.  from  the  First  Clinreh.  V/orcester,  and 
disuHssed  Fel>.  10,  Isr.O,  to  the  Calvinist  Church,  Worcester.^  A  sermon 
preaciied  at  "Worcester  on  the  occasion  of  her  death  "svas  published,  and 
gives  a  "  faithful  and  grateful  portraiture  of  )ier  character,"  the  Avhole 
of  ■which  might  mcU  be  quoted,  but  the  follo-sving  extracts  must  sutlice  : — 
"  A  family  ^vhich,  for  more  than  half  a  century,  has  been  held  in  high 
consideration  in  this  community,  representing  the  manners,  habits  and 
feelings  of  another  generation,  has  entirely  passed  away  from  amongst 
us.  The  very  name  -svith  us  is  extinct;  not  one  remaining  to  transmit  it 
to  coming  days.  Not  one  survives  of  those  A\]io  so  punctually  occupied 
their  seats  in  tliis  house.  Within  the  siiort  space  of  eleven  years,  the 
brother,  the  three  sisters,  with  one  Avho  for  a.  long  period  had  l)een  a 
member  of  the  fauiily,  have  gone  down  to  the  grave.  Endowed  with 
afilnence,  ini  ■lligeuce  and  piety,  tiiey  held  a  position  necessarily  inlluon- 
tlal.  And  having  of  God  hearts  to  use  their  iulluence  and  Aveall.h  in  pro- 
n)oting  the  welfare  and  the  iiappiuess  of  others,  they  have  been  eminently 
distinguished  among  public  and  private  benefactors.  The  streams  of 
their  bounty  have  found  channels  by  which  to  refresh  the  suflering  around 
us,  and  to  carry  far  abroad,  amongst  the  degraded  and  the  ignorant  of 

the   human   family,  the   blessings  of  knowledge   and    religion A 

continual  flow  of  charity  from  them  has  passed  through  the  treasury  of 
this  church,  and  into  the  funds  of  all  the  prominent  religious  and  benevo- 
lent societies  of  the  land The  last  survivor  has  passed  away  in  a 

good  old  age,  continuing  till  the  close  in  the  full  enjoyment  of  the  active 

powers  of  her  mind  and  the  strong  aiiections  of  her  heart It  is 

safe  to  say,  that  her  piety  was  the  ornament  of  her  character.     It  was 

founded  in  faith,  it  was  visible  in  works Her  benevolence  was  in 

almost  constant  exercise.  The  ntmierous  objects  immediately  around  ns, 
claimed  and  received  her  patient  attention.  Public  charities  and  private 
solicitations  from  abroad,  were  continually  presented  to  her.  And  as  it 
was  her  rule  to  distrilnite  rather  than  to  accumulate,  the  generosity  with 
wdiich  she  met  these  demands  arc  matters  of  common  fame.  The  hearts 
that  she  has  privately  and  with  tender  consideiation  cheered  and  sus- 
tained by  her  bounties,  are  among  the  secret  things  Avhicli  will  come  to 
liglit  when  it  shall  be  said,  •  Jnasnuich  as  ye  have  done  it  unto  one  of  the 
least  of  these  my  brethren,  ye  have  done  it  unto  me.'  .  .  .  With  unwonted 
steadfastness  she  continued  to  think  of  others  rather  than  of  h.erself, 
and  to  seek  by  all  means  their  happiness;  and,  as  it  may  readily  be  sup- 
posed, she  looked  forward  calmly  to  the  close  of  life,  and  enjoyed  in  the 
evciung  of  her  day,  as  in  its  brigiitest  hours,  the  calm  hope  and  elevating 
peace  of  the  gospel."

"died  Ma}',  180."),  in  New  York  Stale,"  ^  probably  at  Herkimer.  Slie 
married  July  21,  1719,  at  Pomfret,''  David  Bucklin,  "  a  grandson  of 
Joseph  who  came  to  America  from  England  and  settled  in  Rehoboth." 
He  died  Jan.  21,  1820,  at  Herkimer,  in  the  9Uh  year  of  his  age.-'' 
His  age  at  death  corresponds  with  the  birth  of  David,  son  of  Joseph 
(Joseph,  Joseph)  and  Susannah  Bucklin  (or  Ruckland),  at  Rehoboth, 
Mass.,  Sept.  3,  1726,  and  he  was  probably  that  David,  but  was,  in 
that  case,  great-grandson  of  the  first  Josei)h. 

P.ut  little  has  been  learned  of  him.  He  may  have  resided  at  Pom- 
fret  for  a  time  after  his  marriage;  l»ut  that  he  was  living  at  Coventry, 
R.  J.,  from  1761  to  1779  is  proved  by  the  following  deeds: — June  16, 
1761,  David  Bucklin  and  Abigail  his  wife  of  Coventry,  Kent  County, 
Rhode  Island,  conveyed  to  Jonathan  V/^nldo  [d/i(f],  yeoman,  of  Pom- 
fret,  ten  and  one-half  acres  of  laud  in  Pomfret;  Mch.  18,  1779, 
David  Bucklin  and  Abigail  his  wife  of  Coventry,  R.  I.,  conveyed 
three  acres  of  land  in  Pomfret  to  vSamuel  Waldo  \_dhh'].^  The  last 
deed  was  witnessed  by  Elizabeth  liucklin,  perhaps  a  daughter  whose 
birth  has  not  been  found.  The  births  of  four  children  are  recorded 
at  Coventry',  but  since  there  are  thirteen  years  between  the  first  of 
these  and  their  oldest  child,  they  probably  had  other  children  Avhose 
births  and  names  are  unknown.  Some  time  after  1779  the  Buckliiis 
removed  to  Herkimer,  and  lived  there  until  their  deaths.  Mr. 
I^UL'klin  was  a  wheelwright.  He  made  a  wheel  (spinning-wheel?)  for 
his  daughter  Jvucy  when  upwards  of  ninety. "^

2,  1792,  at  Woodstock,  Vt.-*  Until  about  1769  he  appears  to  have 
lived  at  Pomfret,  and,  ]\[ch.  20,  17GG,  at  a  meeting  of  the  United 
Library  Association  it  was  voted: — "To  admit  Daniel  Waldo  to  a 
right,  instead  of  Jonathan  Waldo  \_dha],  of  whom  he  jmrchased  said 
right,  as  appears  by  certiGcate."  ^  In  17G9,  he  became  by  right  of 
his  wife,  as  heir  to  her  father,  Isaac  Dana,  one  of  the  j^roprietors  of 
New  Pomfret,  Vt.,^  and  was  one  of  the  said  proprietors  who,  in  conven- 
tion at  Pomfret,  Conn.,  Dee.  11,  1769,  issued  a  call  for  a  proprietors' 
meeting  to  be  held  at  Woodstock,  Conn.,  the  last  Wednesday  in  Janu- 
ary, 1770,  to  take  steps  for  the  immediate  settlement  of  New  Pomfret. 
During  the  summer  of  1770,  he  was  present  in  the  new  town  and 
woi'ked  six  days  on  the  new  road  laid  out  through  it.  In  Oetol)er  of 
the  same  year  a  lot  of  land  was  set  off  for  him  in  the  southeast  corner 
of  said  Pomfret,  but,  by  some  confusion  arising  from  Payn's  survey, 
by  which  the  south  line  of  that  town  took  in  a  large  slice  of  Wood- 
stock, Vt.,  Waldo's  lot  included  quite  a  tract  of  land  lying  in  the 
northeast  corner  of  Woodstock.  Hence  arose  some  uncertainty  about 
his  place  of  residence.  In  deeds  dated  Jan.  21,  1771,  June  20,  1772, 
and  July  5,  1772,  he  is  called  of  Pomfret,  Vt.,  yeoman, ^  but  when 
Woo-lstock  was  organized,  in  May,  1773,  he  was  not  only  considered  a 
resident  of  tliat  town,  but  was  chosen  one  of  the  assessors  and  also 
first  constable.^

FOrRTII  rrKNERATION.  ^"^ 


He  apparently  remained  in  AVoodslock  hut  a  short  time,  as  in  tlie 
follo^Ying  May  he  called  himself  of  Cornish,  N.  II.  His  lands  in 
Woodstock  he"^ obtained,  to  some  extent  at  least,  thron;j;h  having  pur- 
chased the  right  of  Matthew  lavennore,  an  origin:d  grantee  of  the 
town.  Nov.  17,  1773,  Daniel  AValdo  "  of  Woodstock,  Yeoman,"  sold 
lo  Nathan  Rowland  of  Middlehoro,  yeoman,  for  ''£t'.S:  8sh.  lawful 
money  of  the  Bny,"  one  hundred  and  four  acres  of  land  in  Woodstock.  ^ 
lie  had  previously  sold,  on  Sept.  9,  1773,  a  one  hundred-acre  lot  in 
the  southeast  corn'er  of  the  town  to  David  Slayton,  and  had  acknowl- 
edged the  deed  in  Cornish  on  the  same  day.  Perhaps  he  was  then 
searching  for  a  farm  in  Cornish,  for  when,  May  14,  1774,  he  sold  the 
Gallup  place  (so-called)  to  Thomas  Minor,  he  called  himself  in  the 
deed  as  of  Cornish,  and  there  he  jiossibly  lived  or  made  his  head- 
(luarlers  for  some  years,  for  this  deed  to  IMinor  he  acknowledged  in 
Cornish  in  1787.^     His  deed  to  Slayton  is  of  interest:— 

"  Know  all  men  by  these  presents  tliiit  I  Daniel  Waldo  of  Woodstock  in  the 
County  of  Cuniherland  and  in  the  Province  of  New  Yorli  Trader  for  and  m

Said  lott  I  have  a  Deed  over  leas  and  Jielease  of  Oliver  Willard  Esqr  he  being 
the  patentee." 

This  deed  is  dated  Sept.  9,  "this  thirteenth  year  of  his  Majestys 
reign  Annoque  Domini  "  1773.3  Waldo  was  a  skilful  penman  and 
always  drew  up  his  own  deeds  and  like  papers.  It  is  interesting 
therefore  to  notice  the  little  touch  of  scholarship  indicated  by  the  use 
of  the  phrase  "  /innoque  Domini,"  it  being  a  form  seldom  used.  But 
if  a  good  penman  he  was  a  poor  "  trader,"  and  was  badly  cheated  by 
Slayton,  who  gave  him,  in  lieu  of  the  thirty  pounds,  two  obligations 
which  he  held  and  on  which  he  claimed  eighteen  pounds  to  be  still  due 
and  a  black  mare,  warranted  sound  and  nine  years  old.  The  obliga- 
tions proved  to  be  fully  paid  and  the  animal  worthless.  Waldo  sued 
for  damages,  and  in  May,  178G,  was  awarded  tliirty-live  pounds  dam- 
ages and  four  pounds  for  costs.  He  also  had  trouble  with  I'liomas 
Minor  to  whom  he  sold  the  "Gallup  place."  The  bargain  was  that 
Waldo  should  receive  one  hundred  acres  of  good  land  in  Canaan, 
N.  H.,  the  lU-ed  for  which,  as  appears  by  Waldo's  declaration,  he  did 
nf)t  receive,  and  he  therefore  sued  for  damages.  The  writ  was  served 
on  Minor  at  Woodstock,  Oct.  30,  1788,  but  it  seems  that  lAlinor  had

a  heavy  aco<iiint  against  "Waldo  and  reoovoifd  against  him  in  a  justice 
suit,  Nov.  (!,  178H,  two  hundred  and  eighty-live  pounds,  wliieh  ^V:ll(h> 
was  obliged  to  pay.' 

In  INIareh,  1783,  I3aniel  Waldo  and  wife  Matilda,  with  children, 
resided  at  Oxford,  Mass. ;-  but  this  must  have  been  a  temporary  stay 
only,  as  nothing  further  is  lieard  of  him  at  Oxford,  and,  in  1787,  ho 
was  again  living  in  Cornish,  as  is  learned  from  a  writ  served  on  him 
in  January  of  that  year.  His  name,  however,  does  not  appear  in  the 
town  records  of  Cornish.  In  1788  three  lots  of  land  were  surveyed 
for  him  by  Joel  Matthews,  in  Woodstock,  containing  about  one 
hundred  and  fifty  acres  in  all,  "  pitched  to  the  right  of  Matthew 
Livermore."^  How  he  disposed  of  these  lands  is  not  known.  Perhaps 
they  went  to  satisfy  damages  in  the  judgment  won  by  Minor;  but  it 
is  probable  that  he  removed  to  Woodstock  at  tdtout  this  time,  and, 
perhaps,  settled  on  these  lands.  It  is  certain  that,  by  reason  of 
incapacity  or  improvidence,  he  had  become  very  poor,  and,  Feb.  8, 
1792,  he  confessed  judgment  in  a  suit  for  twelve  sliillings  on  a  note 
which  he  had  given  the  previous  April,  He  was  too  poor,  however,  to 
do  anything,  and  within  a  month  he  died.  "  He  lived  his  last  days  on 
Ilartland  Hill,  not  far  from  the  old  Doubleday  farm.  He  died  on  a 
Saturday  night,  sadly  in  debt  and  miserably  poor.  Deacon  Dutton, 
one  of  his  neighbours,  said  he  must  be  buried  before  IMonday  morning, 
to  keep  his  creditors  from  attaching  the  body.  That  a  creditor  could 
and  might  take  such  a  course  as  this  was  the  common  belief  of  the 
times.  The  deacon,  therefore,  to  avoid  such  an  evil,  made  a  collin 
with  his  own  hands,  and  hurried  up  the  poor  man's  funeral  Sunday 
night."*!

of  Isaac  ( Benjamin^  liichard)  and  Sarah  (Winchester)  Dana  of

not  been  learned,  but  it  probably  occurred  before  Jan.  17,  1778,

right  to  lands  in  Pomfret,  Vt.  acquired  from  the  heirs  of  Isaac  Dana, 
deceased."  '  As  this  right  must  have  been  acquired  through  his  wife, 
and  she  did  not  sign  the  deed,  she  was  most  probably  dead.  "  Lois, 
wife  of   Daniel  Waldo,  owned  the  Covenant  Feb.  8,  17G7."**

Kin-  Notl.ino-  has  been  learned  of  her,  except  that,  after  her  hus- 
h-xud's  death,  she  ^^•as  harassed  ^vith  suits,  one  by  Dr.  Staudish  Day, 
a  resident  physician  of  Woodstock;  but  the  executions  levied  a-an.st 
her  were  returned  non  est  inventus,  the  last  one  being  dated  May  l.>, 

^  She  perhaps  removed  to  Ilartland,  Vt.,  and  is  probably  the  NYid<.w 
Matilda  Waldo  wlio  married  Chester  Marey  of  Ilartland.^  In  eon- 
f.rmation  of  this  supposition,  her  grandson,  Daniel-Waldo  Bryant 
[dhdkx-],  asserts  that  his  mother  was,   in    some  way,   related  to  the 

Marcys.  ,  . 

No  record  has  been  found  of  the  births  of  Daniel  s  children  by  In. 
wife  Matilda.  According  to  the  U.  S.  Census  returns  for  1/90, 
Daniel  Waldo  was  living,  in  that  year,  in  Woodstock,  Vt.,  with  six  m 
his  family;  viz.,-one  male  over  sixteen  years  old  and  live  females. 
This  probably  means  himself,  bis  wife  and  four  daughters;  and, 
since  his  daughters  by  his  first  wife  were  then  either  dead  or  marn.  .1 
these  four  daughters  must  have  been  by  his  second  wife.  O.  one  ol 
these  there  is,  however,  no  record  whatever.

ardor  the  American  soldiers,  supplying   thorn   with   food  and  clolliintr 
to  the  extent  of  her  abilities.     In  the  winter  of  1779,  when  the  patriot 
troops  suflered  so  much  from  the  want  of  warm  garments,  she  had 
spun  and  wove,  in  her  own  house,  a  number  of  blankets  made  of  the

I    &  a  valuable  member  of  Society." 

He  maiTied,  Nov.  2,  1773,  at  Pomfret,'  Molly,  daughter  of  Gen. 
Israel  (Jospph,  Thomas,  John)  and  Ilaunah  (Pope)  Putnam  of 
Brooklyn,  Conn. ;  born  May  10,  1753,2  probably  at  Brooklyn;  died 
Nov.  18,  1825,^  at  Cou\Yay,  N.  H.,  where  she  had  been  living  with 
her  daughter  Mary.  Her  Avill  dated  Nov.  12,  1825,  probated  Jan. 
5,  1826,  at  Conway,  names  —  daughter  Elizabeth  Gleason,  "com- 
monly called  Betsey " ;  sons,  Samuel-Putnam  Waldo  and  Francis 
Waldo;  daughter  Mary  Cutler,  who  was  made  residuary  legatee;  and 
son-in-law  Zara  Cutler,  who  was  made  executor  and  who,  in  the  pro- 
bate of  the  will,  is  called  of  Conway.* 

Mrs.  Waldo  inherited  her  father's  temperament,  and  was  bold,  fear- 
less and  reckless.  Numerous  anecdotes  are  told  of  her  bravery.  At 
the  age  of  seven  she  is  said  to  have  killed  unaided  a  rattlesnake  with 
thirty  rattles,  a  deed  which,  if  true,  desers'es  the  immortality  of  her 
father's  adventure  with  the  wolf,  as  does  another  story  that,  when  on  a 
visit  to  her  niece,  Mrs.  Backus,  she  attacked,  alone  and  unarmed  save 
with  a  fire-shovel,  a  wild  hog  which  was  in  the  cellar  of  the  house,  and 
succeeded  in  braining  the  beast.  When  her  son,  Francis,  was  two 
years  old  he  fell  into  a  well.  Mrs.  Waldo  descended  after  him,  caught 
him  by  his  hair,  brought  him  up-in  her  apron,  rolled  the  water  out  of 
him  and  was  conscious  only  after  his  restoration  to  life,  that  she  had 
first  removed  her  shoes  and  stockings.  Late  in  life,  when  driving  to 
Conway  to  visit  her  daughter,  she  was  attacked  in  a  lonely  piece  of 
woods  by  a  foot-pad,  who  stopped  her  horse  and  was  attempting  to 
get  into  the  carriage,  when  she  felled  him  with  a  blow  of  the  heavy 
stock  of  her  whip  and  succeeded  in  escaping. 

Samuel  Waldo  and  Molly,  his  wife,  owned  the  covenant  July  9, 
1775.  Mary  Waldo,  wife  of  Samuel,  was  admitted  to  the  Cliurch  at 
Pomfret,  Nov.  6,  1808.^

gail (Giiffen)  Waldo,  born  Feb.  27,  1749,  at  Pomfret,  Conn.;  2  died 
Jan.  21),  1791,  at  Pomfret. ^  He  was  educated  in  the  schools  of  his 
aiative  town,  but  received  his  knowledge  of  Latin  from  Rev.  Aaron 
Putnam,  his  pastor  in  J'omfret,  and  studied  medicine  and  surgery 
under  Dr.  John  Spauldiug  of  Canterbury,  Conn.  He  settled  at  Pom- 
fret  as  a  physician  and  succeeded  to  the  practice  of  Dr.  John  Hall, 
who  had  removed  to  Vermont.  He  subsequently  acquired  great 
eminence  in  his  profession,  becoming  the  leading  physician  in  north- 
ern Windham  County,  his  practice  extending  into  Massachusetts  an<l 
Rhode  Island.  He  was  especially  successful  in  surgery,  his  practice 
in  the  Continental  army  being  undoubtedly  of  great  value  to  him. 

Immediately  after  the  battle  of  Lexington  he  went  to  Cambridge 
from  Woodstock,  Conn.,  as  clerk  of  a  "Troop  of  Horse"  under 
Captain  MeClellan,  and  served  eight  days.  On  July  1,  1775,  at  a 
special  session  of  the  General  Assembly  of  Connecticut,  he  was 
appointed  surgeon's  mate  in  the  8th  Conn.  Regiment  under  Col.  Jede- 
diah  Huntington.  His  commission  is  dated  July  6,  1775.  He  remained 
wilh  this  regiment  at  Cambridge  and  Roxbury  until  honorably  dis- 
charged in  the  following  September  on  account  of  failing  healtli, 
when  Col.  Huntington  wrote  to  Gov.  Trumbull: — "  Camp  in  Roxbury 
Sept.  0,  1775,  Dr.  Waldo  of  Poinf.  is  disch''  and  gone  home  on 
account  of  ill  state  of  health."  In  the  autumn  of  1776  Windham 
became  interested  in  fitting  out  a  privateer,  the  schooner  Oliver  Crom- 
well;  and  Dec.  11,  1776,  Dr.  Waldo  was  appointed  chief  surgeon  on 
board  this  vessel.     The  vessel  did  not  sail  as  expected,  and,  Jan.  1,

1777,  he  was  comMHsstioiied  sMru,oou  of  a  now  Connecticut  re!i,inient 
under  Col.  Hnulington,  and  rein;tiaed  with  it  until  his  resignation  from 
the  service,  Oct.  i,  177i».  His  diary,  wliicli  lie  commenced  Dec.  1, 
1777,  wliile  in  camp  at  Valley  Forge,  and  which  contains  nnich  inter- 
esting matter,  may  be  found  in  "The  Historical  Magazine,"  vol.  v., 
j)p.  Iii9-134,  1G9~172.  Two  poems  which  he  wrote  to  his  wife  during 
the  same  time  may  be  found  in  the  same  magazine,  vol.  vii.,  pp.  2V0-4. 
During  his  absence  with  the  army  his  family  had  been  reduced  to 
extreme  poverty,  and  it  was  the  discovery  of  this  fact,  when  on  a  fur- 
lough in  the  winter  of  1779,  that  caused  Dr.  Waldo's  resignation. 
After  the  close  of  the  war  he  petitioned  the  Connecticut  Legislature 
for  relief.  The  first  draft  of  this  petition,  extracts  from  which  are 
herewith  given,  is  interesting,  since  it  tells  the  story  of  his  services  in 
his  own  words. 


"Your  Petitioner  ....  ft  little  before  .  .  .  the  war  between  Great 
Britain  and  the  Colonies,  joined  himself  t».s  a  uon-connnissioned  ofiicer  to  a 
body  of  Light  Horse  under  the  command  of  Captain,  now  General  McLellau, 
....  and  went  ^vith  them  towards  Boston  when  the  noted  false  alarm  was 
j^iveuof  British  movements.  Immediately  after  the  l&lh  of  April  .  .  .  he  .  .  . 
marched  to  Cambridge  where  he  tarried  until  they  [hi.s  neighbors]  came  home 
together;  and  tlie  same  year  joined  Col.  Huntington's  Kegiment  at  lioxbiiry, 
as  first  surgeons  mate,  from  which  he  was  honorably  discharged  at  bis  request, 
in  consequence  of  a  severe  tit  of  sicl;ne.ss,  by  Gen.  Ward.  In  the  autumn  ol" 
1775,  your  P- — —  went  to  Bergen,  Fort  Lee,  &c.,  surgeon  of  the  11th 
hegiment  of  Militia  of  Connecticut,  and  returned  home  with  the  regiment. 
...  In  the  autumn  and  winter  of  1770,  he  was  surgeon  of  the  ship  Cromwell 
by  an  appointment  of  Gov.  Trumbull.  The  ship  not  sailing  ....  Col.  Hunt- 
ington .  .  .  indncod  your  P- to  leave  the  ship  .   .  .  having  first  obtained 

the  Governor's  permission,  and  attach  himself  to  the  [new]  regiment.  He 
joined  the  regiment  early  in  .  .  .  1777,  in  New  Jersey  and  continued  to  do  his< 
duty  with  fidelity,  and  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  oiiiccrs  and  soldiers,  and  was 
discharged,  in  October,  1779 At  Valley  Forge  .  .  .  your  P — • — con- 
tracted a  numbi.'ess  of  the  left  hip,  side,  and  thigh,  which  ....  continued 
several  years  and  has  never  left  .  .  .  but  was  .  .  .  partly  translated  to  his 
lungs,  and  produced  an  incessant  night-cough,  followed  by  debility.  .  .  . 

When  your  P left  the  regiment,  in  177y,    .  .  .  with  the  firm  intention 

of  returning  in  thirty  days,  he  found  his  family  on  tlie  point  of  famishing 
with  mere  want  of  food  and  every  other  necessary.     Tlie  Continental  money 

your  P had  pre\iously  received  for  the  sale  of  a  little  po.ssession,  and 

all  the  wages  he  could  possiliiy  spare  at  lii.n'erent  times  from  the  camp  to  his 
family,  were,  by  depreciation,  reduced  to  a  iriile  and  now  wholly  gone.     Your 

P struck  to  the  heart  v.  ith  the  horrors  of  undeserved  indigence,  the 

silent  sight  of  a  worthy  Avife,  the  looks  of  a  tender  oilspriug,  the  doleful 
prospect  of  rags  and  starvation,  and  a  half  broken  constitutiou,  dropped  the 
soldier's  cockade;  and  with  it,  dropi.>ed  the  silent  tear,  and  has,  by  great 
exertions,  protected  them  from  the  Insolence  of  pressing  want. 

Your  P sent  .   .  .  for  .  .   .  and   .  .  obtained  a  discharge  in  October. 

The  wages  then  due  .  .  .  were  three  months ;  .  .  .  and  the  whole  barely  paid 
an  attorney  present  a  thirty  shilling  debt.  This  Nvas  the  last  public  money 
•  .  .  ever  received.  Nor  were  any  rations  added.  .  .  .  Nor  has  your  Petitioner 
ever  received  any  remuueratiou  for  his  losses  by  depreciation ;  but  .  .  .  has 
.   .    lost    .    .    .    the  little  all  he  possessed,  and  is  disabled  from  paying  some

Your  Petitioner  ....  prays  that  he  may  he  exoiiernted  from  his  past

proportionable  share.

Ilis  letters  and  poetical  effusions  show  him  to  have  been  a  great 
admirer  of  Washington,  which  admiration  seems  to  have  been  recipro- 
cated, since  Washington  not  only  employed  him  to  copy  his  orders  to 
his  troops  but  presented  him  with  a  sword,  which,  not  long  since,  was 
in  the  possession  of  Mr.  John-M.  Cargill  of  Providence,  R.  I.,  who 
had  also  the  chest  u.sed  by  Dr.  Waldo  during  the  war,  from  which, 
however,  the  surgical  outfit  had  been  removed. 

Dr.  Waldo  appears  to  have  lived  for  a  time  in  Woodstock.  Some 
of  his  children's  births  are  there  recorded,  and  April  2,  17S9,  he 
conveyed  an  estate  in  Woodstock  to  V^Hliiam  Skinner  and  is  described 
in  the  deed  as  of  Woodstock.-  In  another  deed,  dated  Mch.  21, 
1777,  he  is  called  of  Pomfret.  His  marriage  to  Lydia  Ilurlbut  is 
recorded  in  both  Woodstock  and  Pomfret,  but  with  different  dales, 
and  two  children  were  baptized  in  Woodstock. 

The  extent  of  his  practice  is  v.'itnessed  by  tlirec  of  his  day-books, 

bound  in  hog-skin,  which  contain  the  names  of  six  thousand  patients 

treated  by  him  in   a  period  of  seventeen  years,  including,  of  coiu'.se, 

those  only  who  had  their  accounts  charged.     The  esteem  in  which  he 

was  held  by  his  contemporaries  in  liis  profession  is  piirtly  evinced  by 

a  note  from  Dr.  Flint  of  Leicester,  J.Iass.,  whose  fame  was  not  small 

in  the  medical  world. 

"  Lkicestrr,  Feb.  7,  1793. 
"  Dr.  Alljigence  Waldo,  Dear  Sir  :— About  sunset  this  day,  my  eldest  son

fiiiiiH'ut  pliysioian,  ami  was  not  wilhout  gratiliitle  to  the  widow  of  his 
distinguished  benefactor. 

Dr.  Wahlo  was  instnnnental  in  gathering  the  physicians  of  Windham 
(.\)iinty  into  a  local  association,  before  the  formation  of  the  Connecti- 
cut Medical  Society.  Tlieir  meetings  were  held  in  difl'erent  towns 
from  178G  to  1791,  when  a  county  society  was  organized,  with  Dr. 
Waldo  as  clerk;  and,  in  1792,  he  assisted  in  organizing  the  State 
.■society.  Devoted  to  his  profession,  of  energetic  disposition,  and 
interested  in  medical  and  scientific  researches,  he  used  the  literary 
ability,  which  he  possessed  to  a  marked  degree,  in  writing  much 
upon  these  subjects,  illustrating  them  with  well-executed  drawings. 
He  was  an  able  speaker,  and  excelled  on  funeral  occasions.  He 
deUvered  the  eulogy  at  Gen.  Putnam's  obsequies  which  was  much 
admired ;  and  others  of  his  addresses  and  epitaphs  were  greatly 
praised.  He  was  of  a  highly'  social  disposition,  and  was  most  warmly 
attached  to  both  of  his  wives,  whose  praises  he  was  never  weary  in 
setting  forth,  both  in  verse  and  prose. 

In  religious  matters,  Dr.  Waldo  was  l)road  and  catholic.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  Congregational  Churc'i,  and,  on  the  first  page  of  the 
articles  of  confession,  has  left  the  following  record : — 

"A  couple  of  Reasons  for  my  signing  the  enclosed  agreement, — 
First— I,  having  examined  with  carefulness,  find  it  to  be  founded  on  that 
great  Cliristian  scale  which  unites  mankind  in  tlie  llnely-polisbed  golden  chain 
of  E(inalily  and  Brotherly  Love;  and  cannot  in  ray  heart  make  any  material 
objections  to  the  modes  and  principles  which  it  is  designed  to  inculcate.  If 
this  reason  be  not  sulhcient  the  second  may  peaceably  he  admitted. 

Second. —  My  only  brother  has  signed  it  after  due  consideration,  and  I  wish 
to  worsliip  and  get  to  heaven  v.ith  my  Brother."' 

Dr.  Waldo  died  "in  the  prime  of  life  and  heiglit  of  professional 
eminence,  and  was  greatly  mourned  'as  a  man  endov:ed  b}'  the  God 
of  nature  with  the  most  brilliant  and  distinguished  abilities,  and  with 
a  heart  susceptible  of  all  those  amiable  and  benevolent  virtues  which 
fidorn  tlie  human  breast.'  He  was  borne  to  the  grave  by  his  brethren 
•^•f  tlie  medical  profession,  in  the  presence  of  his  Masonic  brethren 
and  a  great  concourse  of  weeping  friends  and  admirers,  'A  serious 
and  sentimental  discourse '  was  delivered  by  Mr.  Dodge,  and  an 
'ingenious  and  pathetic  eulogy'  pronounced  by  General  McClellau  in 
I'chalf  of  the  Masons,"  wlio  erected  a  monument  to  iiis  memory  in  the 
I'lineipul  cemetery  of  Ponifret,  with  the  following  inscription  : —

His  widow  made  several  efforts  to  publish  a  collection  of  his  writ- 
ings, including  tlie  many  treatises  on  medicine  and  science  which  lie 
left,  but  lack  of  means  prevented.  The  inventory  of  his  estate, 
showing  personal  property,  £l9G-2-ll,  was  allowed  Apr.  1,  17i*i. 
On  May  8,  1795,  Mrs,  Lucy  Waldo,  admx.,  charges  herself  with: — 
The  inventory,  £106-2-11;  cash  collections,  £191-5-4;  and  prays 
allowance  for  £147-6-6  1-2.  Claims  against  the  estate  amount  to 
£33l-3-U,  equal  to  14/6  in  the  £,  and  an  order  was  granted  for  a

Tlif  Rcltloniciit  of  this  vast  estate,  consisting,  as  it  did,  of  real  fstale 
in  the  counties  of  York,  Middlesex,  Suffolk  and  Worcester  iu  the 
Province  of  Massachusetts  I^ay,  and  in  various  towns  in  the  Colony  of 
Connecticu.t,  was  a  matter  requiring  much  labor  and  time;  aud  for  the 
next  ten  3'cars  there  are  many  deeds  on  record  of  conveyances  of  this 
lirojicrty.  Rut  the  disturbed  state  of  the  country  proiiably  prevented 
quick  or  advantageous  sales;  much,  perhai)s  most,  of  the  general's 
proi)erty  was  coiifiscated  during  the  Revolution,  aud  his  children,  who 
were  all  royalists,  proliabl}' realized  but  little  of  their  large  inheritance. 

Mr.  ^Valdo  married  (1),  Aug.,  1760,'  Grizell,  daughter  of  Andrew 
(Ihtrn'el,  Peter,  Thomas )  aud  IMary  (Sanford)  Oliver  of  Boston;  born

as  follows: — "Waldo  Samuel,  Esq.  with  l\Irs.  Olin  Grizell  of  Bos- 
ton, July  5,  1760,"  v.hich  probably  caused  Mr.  Willis,  in  "  History  of 
Portland,"  and  iu  his  note  in  "  Journal  of  Rev.  Thomas  Smith,"  pp. 
187,  218,  to  call  her  Olive  Grizzell.  The  dates  of  her  marriage  (Aug. 
11,  1761,)  and  of  her  death  (Dec.  19,  1761,)  are  erroneously  given  in 
the  latter  work.

Boston''  (intentions  published,  Dec.  4,  1761,  at  Falmouth,  Jan.  13,

New  York,  N.  Y.^  The  following  is  condensed  from  an  account  of 
Isaac  Winslow  in  *'  The  Town  of  Roxbury,"  pp.  255-257  : — 

The  last  occupant  of  the  Diidley  mansion  (lu  Roxbury)  ^Yas  Isaac  Wins- 
low,  Esq.,  a  t^enUciiian  hislily  esteemed  for  his  benevolence  and  other  virtues. 
He  uradnated  at  Harvard  Collet'e  1727,  then  entered  the  countius  room  of 
James  Bowdoiu  of  Boston,  and  siilisequently,  witli  his  brotlier  Joshua, 
carried  on  an  extensive  and  proillable  bnsiness  in  that  town.  They  became 
considerable  ship  o^vners  and  had  one  ship  constantly  lu  the  London  trade. 
Isaac  retired  from  Imslness  in  1753,  wlieu  he  became  a  resident  of  Roxljury, 
occupying  at  llrst  a  house  on  tlie  north  side  of  Roxbury  Street,  nearly  opposite 
the  Universalist  Church,  ami  after  the  death  of  Madam  Lucy  Dudley,  the  widow 
of  Judue  Paul  in  1750,  made  the  Dudley  House  his  home.  In  Juue  17C0  he 
received  the  thanks  of  the  town  lor  a  f^ift  of  land  near  Meeting  House  Hill, 
He  seems  at  tlrst  to  have  joined  his  countrymen  in  resistance  to  tlie  irlother 
Country,  for,  in  1772,  he  was  chairman  of  the  Roxbury  Committee  of  Corre- 
spondence, but  he  "svas  too  conservative  for  the  times.  He  ^Yas  appointed 
Mandamus  Couucillor  by  Gage,  but  he  resigned  the  ofiice  "and  made  an 
apology  tu  the  town  for  his  acceptance  of  it  and  said  it  ^Yas  more  owing  to 
the  persuasion  of  others  than  to  his  own  inclliuitiou."  Says  the  Boston 
Ga.-;ette  of  Sept.  5,  1774,  "We  are  able  to  a--'mre  the  public  upon  good 
authority,  that  Is^aac  AVinslow,  Esq.,  one  of  the  lately  appoiuted  councillors, 
waited  on  Gov.  Gage  last  Monday,  Avlien  he  made  an  absolute  and  full  resigna- 
tion of  his  place  at  the  board  since  which,  he  has  not  ai)peared  in  Council, 
but  gives  the  strongest  assurances  that  he  never  will  act  in  that  station." 
Though  a  loyalist,  his  moderation  and  his  character  as  a  man  made  him  far 
less  obnoxious  than  his  Tory  townsmen.  His  virtues,  however,  could  not 
save  him,  and  immediately  after  the  Lexington  allair,  he  took  refuge  in 
Boston.  The  Committee  of  Safety  voted  on  Apr.  30,  1775,  "  That  a  permit  be 
required  for  Mr.  Isaac  WinsloAv's  cflects  to  be  carried  into  the  town  of  Boston 
from  Roxbury,  tomorrow."  Next  day  they  ordered  Col.  Gerrish  to  deliver 
permits  for  such  as  desire  to  enter  Boston  with  their  effects  "all  such  to  be 
protected  from  any  injury  or  insult  whatever  in  their  removal."  In  March 
1776,  with  his  family  of  ten  persons,  he  accompanied  the  royal  army  to 
Hulifax  and  died  in  Nev/  York  in  the  following  year. 

He  wa3  an  "Addresser  of  Hutcbinsou,"  in  1774,  and  of  Gage  in 
1775.  He  was  proscribed  and  banished  in  J  778.  In  religion  he  was  a 
Sandemanian.^  With  Samuel  and  Francis  Waldo  and  Thomas 
Flucker,  his  brothers-in-law,  he  was  administrator  on  the  estate  of

obituary  is  from  the  h'oston  Evening  Fust  of  Apr.  30,  1770: — 

"  Last  Friday  evening  died  here  in  the  21st  Year  of  her  age  Mrs.  Lucy 
Erving,  the  amiable  Consort  of  George  Erving,  ICsq;  and  eldest  daughter 
of  Isaac  Winslow,  Esq.  If  a  kindly  and  friendly  disposition,  an  obliging 
deportment  and  politeness  of  manners,  are  parts  in  the  character  of  an 
agreeal)le  Avoman  :  If  modesty,  good  nature,  prudence,  virtue  and  religion 
adorn  that  Character,  and  make  it  truly  amiable :  If  real  allection  and 
duty  to  her  Husband,  to  her  Father  and  Urtspring,  a  due  attention  to 
family  all'airs,  and  care  of  her  domestics,  set  in  a  pleasing  viev,'  the  rela- 
tions of  Wife,  Child,  Mother  and  Mistress,  it  is  but  justice  to  the  tioceased 
to  say,  that  her  conduct  corresponded  to  those  relations ;  and  tliat  she 
was  an  agreeatjle  and  virtuous  Woman;  whose  amiable  qualities  were  set 
ofl"  by  her  youth  and  comely  person.  If  such  ciualitles  could  have  pro- 
tracted life,  iier  friends  might  have  long  enjoyed  her.  But  in  the  midst 
of  their  allliction  for  her  departure,  they  liave  the  consolation  to  think, 
that  lliPir  loss  is  gain  to  her;  gain  inetialMe  in  the  paradise  of  God. 

"  During  her  illness  which  was  of  some  v.ceks'  coutiuuauce,  she  dis- 
covered a  cahnuess  and  serenity  that  llowed  from  innocence;  and  a 
resignation  to  the  will  of  Heaven  that  resulted  from  a  good  life:  the 
fruit  of  which  she  has  gone  to  enjoy." 

She  married,  Oct.  25,  17C8,  at  Roxbury,  Mass.,*  George,  son  of  John 
and  Ai)igail  (riiilips)  Erving  of  Boston,  born  Dec,  1738,  at  Boston, 
bapt.  Dec.  24,  1738,  at  Brattle  Street  Church,  "aged  one  week";*  died 
Jan.  10.  180(J,  at  London,  Eng."  He  graduated  at  Harvard  University, 
1757,  and  became  a  merchant  in  Boston.  He  was  "  one  of  the  lifty  eight 
memorialists  who  were  the  lirst  men  in  .America  to  array  tlit-mselves 
against  tlie  olhcers  of  the  Crown.  He  was  an  'Addresser  of  Hutchinson  ' 
in  1774,  -was  prescril)ed  under  tlie  Act  of  1778;  and  his  estate  was  contls- 
cated  under  the  Conspinicy  Act  of  1779.  He  went  to  Halifax  at  tlie 
evaciuition  of  Boston,  Avith  his  family  of  live  persons,  and  tlience  to 
England."'  He  is  said  to  have  afterwards  bitterly  regretted  his  action  in 
leaving  America.

b.apt.  Dec.  4,  1720,  at  First  Church;^  died  Dec,  1785,  at  London, 
Kng. 

All  the  romance  of  the  ^yaIdo  farail}'  seems  to  be  concentrated  in 
the  story  of  her  life  and  that  of  her  daughter  Lucy,  and  the  pen  of 
the  rornancist  is  needed  for  its  relation,  rather  than  that  of  the  gene- 
alogist. At  the  age  of  tv^-cnty  Hannah  was  betrothed  to  Andrew 
IVppcrell,  the  only  sou  of  Sir  William  Peppcrcll  who  was  an  intimate 
friend  of  her  father.  He  was  a  classmate  of  Jier  brother  Samuel,  and 
a  remote  connection  by  marriage,  since  the  second  wife  of  her  grand- 
father, Jonathan  Waldo  [/],  was  mother  of  Nathaniel  Sparlsawk  who 
married  Andrew's  sister. 

Andrew  graduated  at  Harvard  College,  1743,  and  became  exten- 
sively known  in  the  fashioiiable  society  of  Boston,  where  his  comely 
form  and  polished  manncjs  were  a  passport  to  the  best  circles,  and  his 
heirship  to  a  fortune  aud  a  bnronetcy  placed  him  in  the  highest  social 
position,  lacing  thrown  into  more  or  less  intimate  relations  with  Miss 
V/aldo,  who  was  highly  educated,  accomplished  and  beautiful,  he  could 
not  resist  her  attractions,  aud  they  were  betrothed  in  1746  much  to  the 
gratification  of  both  families.  INLany  stories  have  been  told  of  this 
alTair  and  its  sequel,  which  seem  to  impute  fickleness  aud  coquetry  to 
the  young  lady,  but  letters  published  in  the  "Life  of  Pepperell"

marriage  Ijctweon  Andrew  Pcpperell  oncl  Ilannnli  Waldo  were  piil*- 
lishcd  at  Kittery,  Sic,  Sept.  3,  17-18.'  vSooii  after  he  was  attackid 
with  a  lingering  fever,  which  left  him  fccbU;  and  dispirited,  and  the 
niarriage  was  delayed.  INIch.  8,  1750,  Nathaniel  Sparhawk  wrote  to 
his  father-in-lnw,  then  in  London  :  "  The  love  affair  Itctween  Andrew 
Pepiierell  and  Miss  Waldo,  now  of  four  years  duration,  is  still  pend- 
ing much  to  the  annoyance  of  both  faniiles  as  well  as  trying  to  the 
patience  of  the  huly."  Stephen  Minot,  a  nierehant  of  Boston  and  a 
relative  of  the  Waldos,  wrote  Andrew,  highly  ])raising  the  behavior 
of  Hannah  Waldo  and  urging  Andrew  to  marry  her.  In  1751,  Sir 
William  wrote  to  Gen.  Waldo,  then  in  London,  "the  wedding  day  is 
fixed."  Miss  Waldo  made  elaborate  preparations,  but,  a  few  days 
before  the  one  appointed  for  the  wedding  arrived,  Andrew  wrote  her 
that  circumstances  had  occurred  which  would  make  it  necessary  to 
defer  it  to  another  day,  which  he  named,  as  more  convenient  to  him- 
self. This  was  too  nuich ;  her  mind  was  from  that  moment  firmly 
fixed.  She  returned  no  answer;  guests  and  minister  were  assembled 
when,  "tired  beyond  endurance  and  angered  beyond  repression  at  the 
indecision  and  procrastination  of  her  lover,"  she  told  Andrew  that  she 
would  not  marry  one  who  had  occasioned  her  so  much  mortification. 
Both  fathers  expressed  to  each  other  much  regret.  Andrew  retired  to 
Kittery,  where  he  passed  the  winter,  and  died  the  following  spring  of 
typhoid  fever.  lie  probably  acted  as  he  did  owing  to  ill  health,  which, 
after  the  pul)lication  of  his  marriage  intentions,  produced  a  settled 
slate  of  despondency  from  which  he  never  recovered.  "  The  conduct 
of  Sir  William  Pcpperell,"  says  Mr.  Parsons,  "was  characterized  by 
generosity,  candor  and  magnanimity,  that  of  Waldo  was  graceful  and 
appropriate,  and  of  his  daughter  blameless  and  commendable."^ 

In  six  weeks  after  this  unfortunate  termination,  moved  by  pique  or 
perhaps  having  already  transferred  her  affections,  Hannah  marrieti, 
Jan.  14,  1751  (intentions  published  Dec.  27,  1750),  at  West  Cliurch,

Flucker,  of  Charlestov/n,  I\Iass.  ;  born  Oct.  0,  1719,  at  Charlestown  ;■' 
died  Feb.  16,  1783,  at  London,  Eng.'*  But  the  romance  of  Hannah 
Waldo's  life  was  not  yet  ended.  The  daughter  and  heiress  of  one  of 
the  wealthiest  men  in  the  Province  and  wife  of  one  of  the  leading  men 
of  the  day,  bred  to  all  the  luxuries  of  the  times  and  a  member  of  the 
highest  social  circle,  she  was,  by  her  husband's  uncompromising  loy-

Boston  ;  born  INIeh.  5,  1710,  at  Boston  ;  died  May  '2^^,  17o0,  at  Boston. 2 

The  Boston  Gazette  of  May  29,  1750,  thus  announced  her  death: — 

"  On  Friday  nicht  Inst  died  here  in  the  Prime  of  IJfc  Mrs.  Judith  Flucker 
consort  of  Mr.  Thomas  Fhicker  of  tliis  Towu  Merchant  and  a  Dau<::hter  of 
tlic  late  lion.  James  Bo-wdoiu  lOsq.  Her  remain?  wk?,  Yesterday  intcr'd  ^vilh 
jjrcat  Decency  and  Respect." 

Her  grandfather,  Pierre  Baudouin,  a  Huguenot,  settled  at  C'asco  in 
16S7.     She  appears  to  have  had  no  children. 

]\Ir.  Fhicker's  name  occurs  frequently  in  the  Boston  records  as  a 
meml)er  of  various  committees.  Sej)t,  14,  1756,  he  was  commissioned 
justice  of  the  peace;  in  17C5  he  was  a  selectman;  he  was  representa- 
tive, 1756-60;  member  of  the  council,  1761-68;  and  Nov.  12,  1770, 
ho  succeeded  Andrew  C)l!ver  as  sccretar}'  of  the  Province.  He  is  said 
to  have  liecn  willing  to  succee<l  him  as  lieutenant-governor  also,  but 
this  he  ^^  as  unable  to  accomplish.  The  last  General  Assembly  held  in 
Massachusetts  under  a  iirovincial  governor,  met,  by  the  governor's 
apjtointment,  at  Salem,  June  7,  1774.  Governor  Gage  being  disturbed 
by  its  election  of  delegates  to  the  Continental  Congress  and  other  acts 
of  disloyalty,  desired  to  dissolve  it,  and  ordered  a  proclamation  for 
that  purpose  to  be  prepared  in  haste  by  Secretary  Flucker.  It  read  as 
follows : — 

"  Province  of  the  1  n    n     r^ 

Massachusetts  Bay.  }  ^^  ^'^^  Governor. 

A  PROCLAMATION 
FOR  DISSOLVING  THE  GENEJiAL  COURT. 

Whereas  the  Procecdinris  of  the  House  of  Representatives  in  the  present 
Session  of  the  General  Court  make  it  necessary  for  his  Majesty's  Service  that 
the  said  General  Court  should  be  dissolved, — 

I  liave  therefore  thought  fit  to  dissolve  the  said  General  Court,  and  the 
snnie  is  licrihy  dissolved  accordin.2;ly,  and  the  members  thereof  are  discharged 
from  ,'iiiy  furtlier  attendance. 

Given  under  my  hand  at  .Salem,  the  17th  Day  of  June,  1774,  ia  the  Fourteenth 
Year  of  his  .Majesty's  Rei^rn.  T.  GAGE. 

By  his  Excellency's  command, 
Thos.  Flucker,  Secretary. 

God  save  the  King." 

"  Armed  v/ith  this  instrument,  the  Secretary  started  at  once  for  the 
town-house.  Elbowing  his  way  through  the  eager  crowd,  he  mounted 
the  stairs  leading  to  the  hall  above,  but  found  the  door  locked  and  the

messenger  on  guard.  He  'tlirecled  the  messenger  to  go  in  .nnd 
acquaint  llie  speaker  that  the  Secretary  had  a  message  from  his  Excel- 
lency to  the  honorable  House,  and  desired  he  might  be  admitted  to 
deliver  it.'  The  messenger  returned,  and  said  he  had  informed  the 
speaker,  as  requested,  '  vvlio  mentioned  it  to  the  House,  and  their 
orders  were  to  keep  the  door  fast.'  Thereupon,  while  the  House  were 
finally  passing  tlie  last  resolve  (concerning  abstinence  from  tea  and 
other  imported  goods),  the  Secretary  proceeded  to  read  the  pfl|ier, 
upon  the  stairs,  in  presence  of  the  assembled  multitude,  and  then 
immediately  after  read  it  in  the  Council  chamber."^ 

Aug.  8,  1774,  he  was  swoi-n  iu  as  mandamus  councillor,  and  was 
one  of  the  fifteen  of  the  thirty-six  originally  ai)])ointed  who  continued  in 
that  office.^  At  the  evacuation  of  Boston,  iu  March,  177G,  he  accom- 
panied the  British  troops  to  Halifax,  whence  he  went  to  London,  wliere 
he  was  a  member  of  the  "  Brompton  Row  Tor}'  Club,"  an  association  of 
New  P>ngland  loyalists  who  met  v.eekly  for  conversation  aud  dinner.^ 
He,  and  Mrs.  and  jNIiss  Flucker  are  frequently  mentioned  in  Josiah-P. 
Quiucy's  diary,  iu  London,  1776.'^  He  was  allowed,  l)y  the  Lords  of  the 
Treasury,  £300  a  year  as  Secretary  of  the  Province,  concerning  which 
allowance  his  daughter  Lucy  wrote  to  her  husband,  Gen.  Knox,  July 
17,  1777: — "  By  a  letter  from  Mrs.  Tyng  to  Aunt  Waldo,  we  learn 
that  papa  enjoys  his  £300  a  year  as  Secretary  of  the  Province.  Droll, 
is  it  not?" 

He  was  associated  witli  Samuel  and  Francis  Waldo  and  Isanc 
Winslow,  as  administrator  on  the  estate  of  General  Samuel  AV'aldo. 
Jan.  1,  1770,  Joseph  Pcircc  of  Boston,  merchant,  was  admitted  agent 
of  estate  of  Thomas  Flucker,  late  of  Boston,  Esq.  June  28,  1781, 
"  In  Senate  of  ]\Las3achusetts  :  Ordered,  that  the  Judge  of  Probate  of 
Suffolk  County  is  directed  to  grant  letter  of  agency  on  the  estate  of 
the  late  Thomas  Flucker  to  Henry  Knox,  he  to  jiay  what  remains,  after 
debts  and  legal  charges,  into  the  public  treasury."  July  9,  17S1, 
Henry  Knox  of  Boston  was  admitted  agent  of  the  estate  of  Thomas 
Flucker,  late  of  Boston,  an  absentee,  lately  deceased.  The  assets  of 
the  estate  were  found  to  be  sufficient  to  pay  the  creditors  but  one 
shilling  four  and  one-sixth  pence  iu  the  pound,  so  the  treasury  got 
nothing,  and  the  creditors  not  much  more.-''

c.  Lucy,  born  A\ig.  2,  175C;  died  June  20,  1824,  at  Thomaston,  Me.  She 
married  June^lG,  1774,  at  Boston.  Henry,  sou  of  William  and  Mary 
(Campbell)  Knox  of  B.oston  ;  born  July  25,  1750,  at  Boston;  died  Oct.  25, 
180G,  at  Thomaston.  "  He  kept  the  '  Londou  Book  Store,'  so  called,  in 
Washington  Street  (where  now  the  Jiusto^i  Daily  Globe  is  published).  It 
was  a  store  of  great  display  and  attraction  for  young  and  old,  and  a 
fashionable  morning  lounge.  I  v.'ell  remember  the  prevailing  gossip 
concerning  Harry  Ivnox  and  Miss  Flueker.  She  was  distinguished  a>  a 
young  lady  of  high  intellectual  endowments,  very  fond  of  books,  and 
especially  of  the  books  sold  by  Knox,  to  whose  shelves  she  had  frequent 
recourse',  and  on  whose  premises  was  kindled,  as  the  story  went,  the 
guiltless  flame  which  was  destined  to  burn  on  the  hymeneal  altar,  despite 
of  '  father  and  mother  and  all  of  my  kin.'  The  opposition  of  her  faiviily 
to  the  connection  ^vas  no  secret  in  Boston."'  Lucy's  family  did  all  tliey 
could  to  preveut  the  marriage.  They  represented  to  her  the  loss  that  she 
would  sufler  in  social  position  and  in  comfort,  and  that  while  she  wouhl 
be  enduring  the  distresses  of  poverty  her  sisters  would  be  the  leaders  (^f 
society,  enjoying  the  wealth  which  might  be  hers.  But  Lucy  inherited  the 
spiritof  her  mother,  and  could  not  be  induced  to  give  up  her  lover.  A 
letter  from  him  to  her  at  this  period,  from  which  the  following  is  an 
extract,  is  of  interest: — 

"Monday  Evuning,  Mch.  7,  1774. 

"What  News?  Have  you  spoken  to  your  father,  or  he  to  you,  upou  the 
subject?  What  appearance  has  this  (to  us)  grand  ailair  at  your  house  at 
present?  Do  you  go  to  the  ball  ton)orrow  evening?  I  am  iu  a  stale  of 
anxiety  heretofore  unknowu.  I  wish  the  medium  of  our  corresi)ondeuce 
settled  In  order  to  which  I  must  endeavor  to  see  you,  when  we  will  settle 
it." 

The  Boston  Gazette,  June  20,  1774,  thus  ainiounced  their  marriage:— 
"  Last  Thursday  (the  IGth.)  was  married  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Cauer,  Mr. 
Henry  Knox  of  this  town,  to  Miss  Lucy  Flueker,  second  daughter  to  the 
Hon. "Thomas  Flueker  Esq.,  Secretary  of  the  Province." 

Just  one  year  from  the  day  of  his  marriage  he  left  Boston  in  disiiuise, 
acconq)anie'd  by  his  wife,  who  had  quilted  his  sword  into  the  lining  of 
her  cloak.  Bestowing  his  wife  safely  in  AVorcester,  he  joined  the  army, 
and  was  successively  commissioned  colonel,  brigadier-general  and  major- 
general.  He  became  a  warm  friend  of  General  AVashington.  He  ^vas 
chosen  by  Congress  Secretary  of  War,  Mch.  8,  1785,  and  was  appointed

lively  and  meddlesome,  but  amiable  leader  of  society.'  She  was  a

No  accurate  record  lias  been  found  of  the  children  of  Gen.  Knox.  The 
list  given  in  Eaton's  "  History  of  Thomaston,  Me,"  is  incorrect  in  some

Ibf.  RAi.rii-GuLSToN,  son  of  Samuel  (Jonathan,  Cornelius)  and

bapt.  Aug,  31,  1735,  at  First  Church;'-^  was  probably  killed  August 
1757,  at  Fort  "William  Henry,  a  few  days  before  its  capitulation.  He 
was  educated  at  the  Boston  Latin  School,  class  of  1744.  In  1749,  he 
Avent  with  his  father  to  London,  probably  to  complete  his  education.'' 
In  February,  1757,  he  was  appointed  captain  in  Col.  Joseph  Frye's 
regiment,  which  formed  part  of  the  garrison  of  Fort  William  Henry 
during  its  siege  and  capitulation  the  following  summer.  This  regiment 
was  enlisted  to  serve  for  one  year  from  Feb.  2,  1757;"*  and  \\''nldo's

Province  for  the  present  Expedition."  •  In  Niles'  "History  of  the 
Indian  and  French  Wars"  it  is  related  that  "Captain  Putnam 
[Israel  of  Connecticut]  that  was  sent  out,  follovscd  the  track  of 
Mood  as  far  as  Foit  Ann,  about  16  miles  from  Fort  Edward.  Our 
men  behaved  gallantly,  ofliccrs  and  soldiers  :  they  pushed  the  enemy  so 
wnnnly,  that  they  recovered  several  guns  and  some  packs;  and  Captain 
Waldo  drew  six  arrows  out  of  the  body  of  one  of  his  men  that  was 
killed."  "  The  enemy  endeavoring  to  cutoff  the  fort's  communication 
by  water,  Captain  Waldo  Avas  sent  with  a  number  of  hands  to  prevent 
it;  but,  probably  venturing  too  near,  was  shot  through  the  body.  He 
was  carried  into  the  fort,  but  soon  after  died."  "  After  the  fort  was 
surrendered,  among  other  acts  of  inhumauity  they  [the  Indians] 
dug  up  Captain  Waldo,  before  spoken  of,  and  others  and  scalped 
tlicm."^  That  this  Captain  Waldo  was  the  subject  of  this  sketch 
there  can  l)e  little  doubt,  yet  the  report  of  his  death  and  subsequent 
scalping  lacks  conllrmatiou.  We  learn,  however,  from  a  muster-roll 
in  "Massachusetts  7\rchives,"  vol.  xcvi.,  p.  88,  that  Waldo's  company 
was  commanded  by  Capt.  Abel  Keen  after  Aug.  8th,  the  day  before 
the  capitulation. 

Yet  singularly  enough,  and  evidently  by  error  if  Niles  and  this 
muster-roll  are  coi'rect,  the  "Return  of  Ollicers  Belonging  to  the 
Masstf  F'^orces  commanded  by  Col.  Joseph  Fry  that  was  in  the  Capitu- 
lation at  Fort  William  Henry  Aug.  9,  1757,"  includes  "Ralph  G. 
Waldo,  Capt."^  There  is  no  notice  of  his  death  in  the  contemporary 
Boston  newspapers,  which  seems  strange  if  so  sad  a  fate  had  befallen 
the  son  of  so  prominent  a  man  as  was  his  father.  Yet  he  must  have 
died  before  his  father,  as  no  mention  of  him  is  made  in  the  settlement 
<'f  his  father's  estate,  and  the  story  told  by  Niles  is  probably  the  true 
record  of  liis  fate.     He  was  never  inarried.

aliont  twelve  years. "     F"or  some  reason  lliis  seems  not  to  have  heen 
satisfactory  to  him,  ami  Nov.  28,  1713,  he  executed  the  following:  — 

"  1  Jonp.dian  Waldo  a  Minor  a,u:ed  upward  of  Ninctoen  years  son  of  Joiia- 
tliau  Wnliio  late  of  Jioston,  MerclianL,  have  nan)ed  and  do  put  and  coiistilulc 
Gannnori  Stevens  of  llo.ston,  Shopkeeper  to  be  my  Guardian  to  ask,  demand 
....  such  Part  and  Portion  of  Estate  as  accrues  to  me  in  Right  of  ray  Hon' 
Grandfather  Jonathan  Waldo  Shoiikeeper  deceased  and  to  manage  same  for 
inc." 

April  14,  174.6,  Jonathan  Waldo  of  Boston,  "Mariner,"  gave  a 
quitclaim  to  his  ''former  guardian  Gammon  Stevens"  and  acknowl- 
edged full  satisfaction  for  all  claims  on  account  of  the  guardianshi|i.i 
This  is  the  lirst  evidence  which  has  been  found  of  his  occu[)ation, 
though  family  tradition  calls  l)im  a  ship  captain.  Perhaps  some  of 
the  marine  arrivals  and  sailings  of  Capt.  Waldo  which  have  been 
credited  to  his  cousin,  Capt.  Benjamin  Waldo  [66c],  refer  to  Jona- 
than. Family  records  say  that  he  died  at  sea  in  December,  1755, 
perhaps  "  engulphed  by  the  earthquake  at  Lisbon,"  as  says  "  "Waldos 
in  America,"  p.  125,  whicit  has  made  a  misprint  of  twenty  years  in  the 
date  of  his  death. 

Jonathan  Waldo  was  an  able  seaman  on  the  Province  snow  "  Prince 
of  Orange"  from  Apr.  2,  1742,  to  Nov.  20,  1742,  and  perhaps  con- 
tinued in  that  service  in  the  following  years,  but  the  later  muster-rolls 
are  lost.  lie  was  1st  lieutenant  on  the  Province  ship  "  Massachusetts," 
under  Capt.  Tyloses  Bennett,  in  1748.^ 

The  will  of  Jonatlian  Waldo,  dated  Dec.  13,  1749,  probated  Jan.  5, 
175U,  leaves  to  "sister  Mary  Cole  aii<l  her  son  Jonathan- Vv'aldo  Cole 
£10  old  Tenor,"  the  remainder  of  real  and  personal  estate  "  to  well 
beloved  wife  Mary,"  who  was  made  executrix.  An  inventory  of  his 
estate  dated  Jan.  28,  1  7G3,  amounted  to  but  £38  :  14  :  5.  This  incUuled 
"  monc}'  received  of  the  Committee  appointed  to  apportion  the  Cliarily 
for  the  Sufferers  by  fire,  £24."  In  17G4  the  commissioners  on  estate 
of  "Capt.  Jonathan  Waldo,  Mariner,"  reported  the  estate  insolvent, 
and  Jan.  27,  17G4,  it  Avas  ordered  that  the  executrix  pay  the  creditors 
one  shilling,  one  pcun}'  half  penny  in  every  pound. 3 

April  2,  1759,  John  Nov.ell  of  Boston,  painter,  was  appointed 
guardian  "  unto  Jonathan  Waldo  a  minor  under  fourteen  years  of  age

Waldo  who  died  Dec,  1792,  at  Boston,  jet.  5  days,^'  may  have  been 
his  son,  but  was  more  likely  the  son  of  Joseph  and  Sarah  (Pope) 
Waldo  [otya'],  although  he  is  not  included  iu  the  fansily  records  of 
their  children. 

Benjamin  Waldo  enlisted  for  the  war,  Feb.  1,  1777,  as  sergeant  in 
Capt.  Hatfield  White's  company,  Col.  Rufus  Putnam's  (ath)  regiment 
Massachusetts  line,  and  served  until  Feb.  22,  1781,  when  he  is  reported 
to  have  deserted  ;  but  this  charge  of  desertion  was  probably  not  true, 
since  his  name  appears  in  a  list  of  men  of  the  5th  regiment  entitled  to 
200  acres  of  land  or  820  in  money,  by  resolve  of  court,  IMch.  5,  1801.

which  was  sold,  Oct.  IC,  1758,  by  Samuel  Waldo  of  Bateman's  Precinct, 
Dtitclioss  Co.,  N.  Y.,  now  Dover,  to  his  brother  Jesse.'  He  became 
a  Baptist  clergyuiau  a)id  was  chosen  pastor  of  the  South  Dover  or 
First  Baptist  Church  of  Dover,  Jan.  4,  1758,  and  >Tas  ordained  May 
25,  1758,  by  Elders  ^Marsh  and  Willard.  "To  this  man,  perhaps 
more  than  to  any  other,  belongs  the  credit  of  stimulating  the  people  of 
the  IJaptist  persuasion  then  living  in  this  section  (Dover  Plains)  to 
oi-gaiiize  a  church."  "  It  is  related  of  Elder  Waldo  that  on  one  ocea- 
FioH  he  went  to  the  store,  where  he  saw  some  coffee  beans — an  article 
then  but  little  known.  The  Polder  inquired  what  they  were,  and  con- 
cluded to  try  a  quart  or  so.  He  took  them  home,  put  the  whole  quan- 
tity into  the  pot,  and  proceeded  to  cook  them  as  one  would  field  beans ; 
but  after  boiling  several  hours  he  found  they  were  as  hard  as  ever. 
Finally  his  patience  became  exhausted,  and  he  took  them  back  to  the 
Btore  in  disgust,  saying  that  they  were  worthless — he  could  never  boil 
tliem  soft."  During  the  Revolution  it  is  said  tliat  he  carried  all  the 
milk  produced  by  several  cows  to  Washington's  troo])3,  encamped  for 
tlie  night  nearby,  together  with  other  ]irovisions,  distributed  the  articles 
among  tlie  soldiers,  told  them  where  he  lived  and  invited  them  to  come 
to  his  house  and  get  whatever  they  wanted  to  eat.  Many  of  tliem  did 
so  and  disturbed  notliiug.- 

His  gravestone  at  South  Dover  bears  the  following  inscription: — 

"  Sftinuel  WaUlo,  Died  Sept.   10,   17'.t3,  a^ed  (12   years.

Alstead,  N.  H.,  with  his  father;  or,  if  he  did,  he  evidently  remained 
luit  a  short  time,  since  he  was  an  "Inhabitant  of  Shaftsbury,  Vt.,

probaljle  that  he  first  went  to  live  with  his  brother  Samuel  \hdaa'\.,  and 
removed  to  Shaftsbury  about  1764. 

Mr.  Henry-AUeu  Waldo  [Ijdahhce]  has  learned  that  "in  1885,  the 
old  Mansion  House  and  Tavern  of  Abiather  Waldo,  where  a  prayer 
meeting  was  held  during  the  battle  of  Bennington,  was  still  standing

Mr.  Waldo  was  married,  but  no  record  of  his  marriage,  nor  of  the

Hacliael,  and  she  died  Oct.  3,  1820,  at  Shaftsbury.  They  are  both

died  Jan.  22,  1829,  at  Randolph,  Vt." 

Dec.  8,  1763,  his  father  conveyed  to  him  a  farm  in  Mansfield, 
probal)ly  as  a  marriage  gift,  and  there  he  probably  lived  for  a  few 
years;  but,  Aug.  2o,  1769,  his  father  gave  him  another  farm  in 
Alstead,  N.  II.,  and  he  probably  removed  to  that  town  about  that 
time.5  Jan.  3,  1803,  he  purchased  of  Isaac  Temple  of  Alstead,  (lie 
easterly  half  of  Lot  No.  4,  4th  Range  in  Alstead,  containing  ninety- 
five  acres,  for  81100.  In  this  deed  he  is  cailcd  of  Walpole,  N.  H., 
but  as  in  another  deed  of  Nov.  8,  1803,  he  is  called  of  Alstead,  it  is 
probable  that  his  farm  was  in  both  towns  and  that  he  was  indilTerently 
called  of  either.  Dec.  30,  1S15,  he,  still  called  of  Alstead,  with  his 
wile  Jerusha,  sold  his  farm  in  Alstead  to  Abel  Shed.^  It  was  proba-

He  probably  went  to  Alstead,  N.  H.,  with  his  father,  and,  Sept.  18, 
1770,  his  father  conveyed  to  him,  "  for  Love  good  will  and  natnral

with  his  wife  Hannah,  sold  to  John  Fuller  of  Chesterfield,  one  hundred 
and  fifty  acres  in  Alstead,  "Being  the  Farm  T  now  live  on"  and  a

lived  until  their  deaths.

in  Tolland  and  it  seems  doubtful  if  he  ever  lived  in  Havei-hill,  N.  H. 

Daniel  Waldo  and  his  wife  are  buried  at  Chesterfield,  their  grave-

Mr.  Waldo  "  v.'as  low  in  stature,  thick-set,  broad  in  chest  and 
shoulders,  very  muscular,  quick  in  understanding,  serujtulously  honest 
and  very  oi'thodox.  His  wife  was  nnusuall}'  large,  weighing  two  hun- 
dred and  forty  pounds  and  not  ovcrliurdened  with  llesh.  I  have  seen  her 
take  a  barrel  of  cider  from  the  rear  of  a  cart  and  place  it,  quietly,  upon 
the  gi-ound.  She  had  the  advantnge  of  her  husband  in  height,  and, 
had  they  ever  come  to  blows,  he,  though  a  giant  in  strength,  would 
certainly  have  had  the  woi'st  of  it."  Once,  when  insulted  by  a  man  of 
average  size,  "  she  seized  the  offender  by  the  back  of  his  neck  and  his 
pantaloons,  and,  extending  him  at  arms  length,  ran  with  him  over  the

nil  of  his  farm  in  Tinmouth,  containing  two  hundred  and  fifty  acres,

The  will  of  "  Hulah  Waldo  of  Tinmouth,"  dated  Jan.  18,  18ol,

died  Jan.  16,  1830,  at  Tinmouth.  A  William  Benjamin  was  an 
inhabitant  of  Great  Barrington,  Mass,  in  1777,  and  signed  a  petition

Connecticut,  "  a  man  of  unusual  breadth  and  force  of  character,  and 
universally  conceded  to  l)G  a  man  of  the  best  sense  of  auy  one  in

leadership,  which  he  displayed  to  an  eminent  degree  in  the  controversy 
over  the  New  Hampshire  grants. 

Graduating  at  Yale  College  in  1750,  he  studied  law  uuder  his  father, 
and  commenced  tlie  practice  of  that  ))rofession  in  his  native  town.  In 
1761  he  entered  into  mercantile  business  in  Canterbury,  with  his

colunel  of  tlie  regimt'iil  of  militia  of  v/liich  Jonathan  Chase  of  Cornish 
was  colonel.  He  is  said  to  have  been  i>ieviously  in  conimand  of 
a  company  daring  an  expedition  against  Ticondcroga,  probal^ly  with 
Allen  and  Warner,  in  ]\Iay  of  the  same  year.  In  January,  177G, 
lie  was  made  justice  of  the  supreme  court  by  the  Exeter  government, 
but  declined  the  otlice ;  and,  in  the  same  month,  l)ecame  register  of 
probate  for  the  County  of  Graft(jn.  lie  was  soon  aftei-  appointed  an 
associate-justice  of  the  court  of  common  picas,  and  was  reappointed 
to  tlic  same  otlice  in  1779.  lie  was  trustee  of  Dartmouth  College 
from  1771  to  ISOl,  and  its  treasurer  1779  and  '<S0,  ]n  1779  he 
received  an  honorary  degree  of  A.  'M.  from  that  college. 

He  was  no  mean  mechanic  and  architect.  He  built  and  owned  the 
first  grist-mill  in  Cardigan  ;  erected  "  Paddleford's  mills,"  at  Entield  ; 
and  completed,  says  tradition,  one  of  the  old  college  buildings  at 
Hanover,  vrhich  had  been  begun  and  abandoned  by  an  incompetent 
contractor.  About  17'S0  he  removed  to  Le])anon,  N.  H.,  being 
incbiced  thereto  by  an  extensive  grant  of  land  and  a  large  water  privi- 
lege, u[»on  which  he  erected  extensive  mills,  which  he  owned  and 
operated  until  his  decease. 

He  took  an  active  part  in  the  struggle  for  the  union  of  the  so-called 
New  Hampshire  grants  with  Vermont,  represented  the  town  of 
Cardigan  in  the  early  conventions  called  with  that  object;  and,  after 
the  union  of  that  town  with  Vermont,  in  1778,  was  chosen  to  rei)re- 
sent  it  in  the  Vermont  Assembly.  The  union  having  been  dissolved, 
I'ayne  threw  himself  with  ardor  into  the  scheme  to  form  a  new  state, 
imder  the  name  of  New  Connecticut,  and  was  an  active  member,  if 
not  the  leader,  of  the  conventions  held  at  Cornish,  Charleston  and 
Walpole.  The  result  being  a  second  union  with  Vermont,  he  took  his 
seat,  Apr.  G,  1781,  in  the  Vermont  Legislature,  as  a  member  from 
Lebanon,  and  at  once  assumed  the  prominence  to  which  his  character 
:tnd  services  entitled  him.  In  Sept.,  1781,  he  was  made  chief  justice 
of  Vermont.  On  October  20,  1781,  he  was  appointed  by  the 
(lovernor  and  Council  to  the  odicc  of  lieutenant-governor,  there 
having  been  no  election  by  the  people;  a.nd,  in  December,  1781,  he 
was  commissioned  major-general  of  militia.  These  ollices  he  held, 
and  j)erformed  their  duties  with  assiduity  and  zeal,  until,  by  the  disso- 
lution of  the  union  in  the  following  spring,  he  ceased  to  be  a  citizen  of 
^'e^nont.  He  cheerfully  accepted  the  result  of  the  prolonged  contest, 
!ind  retired  to  private  life,  though,  for  several  years,  he  represented

Cliurch,  Preston,  Sc'iH.  14,  1735.  Robert  Park  was  living  at  Groton, 
Conn.,  in  1705. '  He  married  (2)i  Oct.  25,  1770,  '^Sybill"  ButtiMi. 
This  marriage  was  performed  by  Sannicl  Mott,  justice  of  tlie  peace, 
and  is  recorded  at  Preston,  but  Avtis  pro]»ably  performed  at  Stonington. 
They  are  both  called  of  Stonington  in  the  record  of  the  marriage. 
The  will  of  I^Iatthias  Button  of  Preston,  dated  July  2,  ]751>,  probated 
Aug.  7,  1759,  names  "wife  Haimah"  and  "two  grandsons  of  my 
beloved  son  Zcbnlon  Button,  deceased."  The  Avill  of  Hannah  P>utton, 
widow,  of  Preston,  dated  Jan.  18,  1772,  probated  Feb.  10,  1772, 
names — "  grandsons  Tdatthias  and  Zebulon  Button.""  April  14, 177*J, 
a  small  piece  of  land  in  Preston  was  conveyed  by  "  Sybill"  Waldo  of 
Stonington,  Matthias  Button  of  Preston  and  Zebulon  Button  of  Ston- 
ington. This  deed  was  witnessed  b}^  Susanna  Waldo,  proljably  sister 
of  Cornelius,  and  evidently  then  unmarried. ^  Zebulon,  son  of  a\Jatthias 
(Peter)  and  Hannah  (Vv^illiaras)  Button,  born  Mch.  20,  1721,  at 
Preston; ''  married  ]\[ay  27,  174  2,  at  Preston, ^  "  Sibbel  Walbridge  of 
Preston,"  who  was  undoubtedly  the  "Civill,"  daughter  of  William  and 
Abigail  (Larance)  "WalDiridge,  born  June  17,  1720,  at  Norwich,  Conn.^ 
liut  two  children  are  recorded  as  born  to  tliem;  viz.,  Matthias  and 
Zebulon,  who  were  named  in  their  grandparents'  wills.  There  is  no 
evidence  of  there  having  been  a  daughter  Sibyl,  and  it  is  probable 
that,  in  spite  of  the  difference  in  their  ages,  the  second  wife  of  Cor- 
nelius Waldo  was  the  widow  of  Zebulon  Button. 

As  early  as  Mch.  31,  1764,  Cornelius  Waldo  "of  Canterbury" 
purchased  of  Hezekiah  Woodward  of  Stonington,  a  tract  of  land 
adjoining  tliatof  Zebulon  Button's  heirs,  in  Stonington,  on  the  borders 
of  Preston.'^  In  17G6,  Sibbel  Button  bought  a  tract  of  land  of  which 
the  bounds  were  not  i)recisely  defined.  Apr.  20,  1774,  a  survey  and 
agreement  to  fix  these  bounds  was  made  as  follov»'s : —

late  of  Stonington  Deceased."  The  estate  ^Yas  inventoried  at  S212.ol, 
all  personal,  and  Sept.  24,  1805,  distribution  was  made  in  equal  i)ar(s, 
"To  Jrena  Ames  the  wife  of  David  Ames  of  Fairlce  in  the  County

bdfe.  Bf.thukl,  son  of  Eethuel  (Edimrd,  John,  Cornelius)  and 
Lois  (Munsel!)  Waldo;  born  May  23,  1751,  at  Tolland,  Coun.;^  date 
of  his  death  not  learned,  but  family  tradition  says  that  it  occurred 
about  1778  in  the  army.  He  enlisted  IMcli.  1,  1778,  in  Capt.  Parson's 
company,  2nd  Conn.  Kegiment,  and  was  discharged  July  17,  1778.3 
When,  in  1773,  he  and  bis  father  purchased  a  tract  of  land  in  East 
Windsor,  Conn.,  he  is  described  as  "  now  residing  in  Hartford,"  and 
he  probably  removed  to  East  Windsor  soon  after,  since,  Apr.  10,  1774, 
Bethuel  Waldo,  Jr.,  of  East  Windsor,  conveyed  to  Benjamin  JMunsell 
of  East  Windsor  one  quarter  of  this  same  tract.'*  Nov.  18,  1774,  his 
father  gave  him  •"  quitclaim  deed  for  his  interest  in  this  tract  and  "  tlie 
]\Iantion  House  thereon  standing,"  and  on  the  same  date  the  father 
and  son  conveyed  to  Benjamin  Muusell  of  V/illington  one  quarter  of 
the  same  tract.  This  Benjamin  Munsell  was  probably  some  relation, 
perhaps  a  brother,  of  Bethuel,  Sr.'s,  wife  Lois.  Bethuel  Waldo's 
name  does  not  appear  in  the  list  of  freemen  Avho  took  the  oath  of  fidelity 
to  the  State,  Sept.  16,  1777,  at  East  Windsor,  nor  in  any  subsequent 
list  of  freemen  in  that  town.  He  married,  Dec.  23,  1775,  at  East 
Windsor,-'^  Ruth  Wheeler  of  Stafford,  Conn.  She  was  probal)ly 
daughter  of  Josiah  and  Elisabeth  Wheeler  of  Stafford,  and  is  perhaps 
that  daughter,  born  July  21,  1755,  at  Stafford,  whose  name  is  oblit- 
erated in  the  much  dilapidated  town  records.  The  report,  Sept.  21, 
1774,  of  the  distribution  of  "  the  estate  of  Josiah  Wheeler  late  of 
Stafford,"  speaks  of  the  "widow"  and  names  "children:  Joshua 
Wheeler,  Timothy  Wheeler,  ]\Iary  Nelson,  Huldah  AVheeler,  Josiah 
Wheeler,  Zadoek  Wheeler,  Hezekiah  Wheeler,  Prissiler  Wheeler  anrl 
Ruth  Wheeler."^  The  date  of  the  marriage  is  perhaps  an  error,  since 
the  birth  of  the  first  child  is  recorded  at  Stafford  as  born  the  next  day?

bdfk.  Ezra,  son  of  Betliuel  (Fchrard,  John,  Cornelius)  and  Lois 
(Munsell)  Waldo;  born  Sept.  20,  1760  or  'GC,^  probably  in  that  pari 
of  Windsor,  Conn.,  ^liich  is  now  Ellington ;  died  Dec.  20,  1842,  at 
Ellington,  aged  7G  year.s.^  But  little  has  been  learned  of  hiin,  and 
that  little  is  of  an  unsatisfactory  nature.  That  he  was  son  of  Bet  hud 
is  not  absolutely  proved,  but  it  is  perhaps  sufliciently  established  by 
family  tradition  and  the  fact  that,  Apr.  22,  1790,  Ezra  A\"aldo  of 
Ellington  gave  a  life  interest  to  Bethnel  Waldo  and  Lois  Waldo  of 
Ellington,  to  a  fann  of  sixteen  acres  and  the  building.s  thereon  in 
Ellington,  which  he,  Ezra,  purchased  Apr.  22,  1788,  of  Asa  Water- 
man of  Norwich.  The  latter  deed  is  witnessed  by  Frederick  Waldo. 
Why  Bethuel's  third  son  should  have  been  the  one  to  provide  for 
him  in  his  old  age  does  not  appear.  In  1793  and  '94,  Ezra  seems  to 
have  sufl'ered  financial  distress,  and,  INfch.  28,  1793,  and  Slay  23, 
'94,  the  sheriff  levied  on  land  of  his  in  Ellington,  and  in  the  return 
of  the  writ  reported  that  Waldo  was  out  of  the  State.  These  lands  lie 
redeemed  Feb.  12  and  13,  1795,  being  then  called  of  Ellington;  though 
his  children,  born  between  1792  and  '99,  are  recorded  at  Tolland, 
Conn.  Feb.  15,  1796,  Bethuel  Waldo  and  Lois  Waldo,  his  wife,  '"  <'f 
Ellinglo)),"  gave  a  quitclaim  deed  to  Ezra  Wnldo  of  Ellington  for  the 
sixteen  acres  and  buildings  thereon  in  Ellington,  })reviously  referred  to. 
This  deed  was  witnessed  by  Frederick  Waldo  and  Eunice  Wal<l"- 
Jan.  8,  1790,  the  committee  of  the  town  of  Ellington,  ajipointed  i'> 
sell  common  lands,  sold  to  p^zra  Waldo  of  Ellington  land  in  that  town 
for  i.'bs.  No  fiH-lher  <leeds  are  on  record  to  or  from  him  until  May  2,

<^MVo  him  a  life  lease  of  the  same  property  for  the  same  amount. i  The 
follow iiijj;  deedf^,  recorded  in  Tolland,  seem  to  show  that  there  was 
another  p]zra  Waldo  living  in  Ellington,  who  was,  perhaps,  his 
nephew,  son  possibl}'  of  Ik'thnel,  Jr.  As  there  is  no  other  evidence  of 
the  existence  of  such  a  nephew,  perhaps  a  mistake  was  made  in  calling 
him  "2d."  and  "Jr."  Nov.  29,  1817,  "Ezra  Waldo,  2d.  of  Elling- 
ton" bought  two  acres  of  land  in  Tolland.  Jan.  8,  1818,  "  JLzra

family  to  Aaron- Waldo  Putnam  [dhec'],  two  saddle-bags  tilled  \sith 
fruit  seeds  and  scions  ready  for  grafting.  These  are  thought  to  have 
been  the  first  seeds  and  scions  taken  to  Ohio  for  cultivation.  Ho 
settled  on  a  farm  at  Marietta,  and  remained  there  until  about  I8i;!. 
^vhen  he  removed  to  the  nev,-  settlement  at  Vevay,  Ind.,  where  lie 
passed  the  remainder  of  his  life.  His  familv,  in  Connecticut,  lost  all 
trnce  of  him,  but  it  has  always  been  tradition  among  the  younger 
members  that  Frederick  went  West;  and,  while  there  is  no  positive 
proof  that  the  Frederick  who  died  at  Vevay  v.as  son  of  Betliuel  [/>'(/], 
his  age  at  death  corresponds  so  nearly  with  what  would  have  been  the 
age  of  the  latter,  that  there  is  little  doubt  that  the  two  are  identical. 
It  has  been  thought  by  some  that  the  Frederick  Waldo  of  Vevay  was 
son  of  Daniel  and  Lois  (Dana)  Waldo  [dhd],  but  family  traditi<in 
asserts  that  their  sou  Frefferick  died  in  infancy. 

Mr.  Waldo  was  married  about  1797  at  Marietta.  His  wife's  name 
was  Minerva.     Nothing  whatever  has  been  learned  of  her.^

of  the  nioiUh  of  November,  he  believes,  is  not  certain  aw  lo  the  (hiy  or  -week, 
Avlien  his  father  took  him  iu  a  carrhige  and  reuioved  liim  to  Windham,  Conn., 
the  j)hice  Avhere  he  enlisted. 

"  in  tlie  year  1777,  as  he  now  believes,  tliere  •was  an  expedition  sot  on  foot 
under  tlie  command  of  Major  General  Spencer  to  capture  the  liritish  Army  in 
lihudc  Islantl  by  suri)rise  in  the  niuht.  General  Dounhis  raised  a  ))ri^ade  for 
one  month;  he'tlien  enlisted  for  that  term  in  the  montli  of  October  in  Capt. 
Abncr  Robinson's  comjiany.  Col.  Mnllen's  Kei^iment,  all  of  Connecticut.  We 
^vere  then  marched  to  the  shore  after  dark  t^vo  evenings  in  succession,  the 
artillery  brouirht  to  the  phice  of  embarkation  and  every  man  Avas  ordered  to 
l(Mid  his  ^uu,  but  the  wind  rose  each  niixlit  to  such  a  dcijrce  that  it  was  not 
lho\ii:ht  safe  to  cross  with  the  artillery,  and  troops  on  the  Island  gettim; 
knowledjre  of  the  expedition,  it  was  given  up.  He  was  kept  for  one  month 
and  then  dismissed. 

"  In  the  sprhi":  of  1780,  in  the  town  of  Coventry,  County  of  Windham  and 
State  of  Connecticut,  (He  was  studying  medicine)  there  was  a  call  for  six 
months'  men,  levies  to  replenish  the  Continental  Army,  and  to  save  the  officers 
of  the  company  to  which  he  belonfred  the  unpleasant  task  of  drafting,  he 
volunteered  and  the  quota  from  the  company  followed.  They  were  then 
niaiclied  to  Hartford,  Farmington,  Southingtou,  Danbnry,  and  joined  the 
army  in  the  Highlandt?  before  they  left  winter  quarters.  He  was  then  placed 
in  C'apt.  WHliam  Cliffs  company,  Col.  Durkee's  regiment,  of  wliich  Doctor 
Adams  was  surgeon.  Part  of  the  time  he  was  taken  from  that  line  and  placed 
in  Capt.  John  Buel's  company  in  the  Light  Infantry,  and  before  the  campaisu 
M'as  out  was  remamlcd  to  Capt.  Clift's  company,  and  continued  in  it  until  the 
army  left  the  Held  and  retni-ned  to  winter  quarters  -which  they  left  in  the 
Bliring,  and  the  next  day  or  soon  after  he  was  dismissed  verbally  by  Ensign 
Glenny  who  had  been  promoted  in  tlint  campaign.  The  campaign  was  spent 
in  New  .Jersey  and  nothing  Vvorthy  of  notice  fell  under  his  observation  except 
privation  from  lack  of  rations,  which  was  sometimes  .'severe  and  a  number 
of  times  repeated;  and  the  execution  of  Major  Andr6,  Avhich,  though  not 
very  near,  yet  was  near  enough  to  discern  him  wlien  he  mounted  the  scail'old. 
He  cannot  he  particular  as  to  the  time  when  he  entered  or  left  the  service. 
He  thinks  he  served  in  this  campaign  seven  months,  although  it  was  stated 
in  the  call  for  six  months. 

"In  the  year  1781,  in  the  said  town  of  Coventry,  as  soon  as  the  express 
could  bring  tidings  of  the  destruction  made  at  New  London  and  Groton,  the 
Cth  of  September,  Capt.  Hunt's  company  of  militia,  to  which  he  belonged, 
was  called  for,  the  distance  from  forty  to  ilfty  miles;  the  enemy  had  departeii 
before  our  arrival  but  as  it  was  generally  believed  that  Arnold  had  said  he 
Mould  visit  Norwich,  his  native  jilace,  wc  were  detained,  as  he  fully  belie\es, 
one  mouth. 

"In  the  year  1783  he  received  an  appointment  by  the  Secretary  of  War, 
General  Knox,  as  Surgeon  of  a  corps  of  (me  hundred  men  under  the  command 
of  Capt.  Joseph  Savage,  stationed  at  Springlield,  Massachusetts,  at  the  pay 
of  Ilfteen  dollars  i)er  month;  the  time  of  this  last  service  was  twelve 
nionths." ' 

The  following  extract  from  a  letter  of  Joseph  Waldo  to  his  brotlier 
Ebenezer  in  reference  to  an  application  for  a  pension,  although  some- 
thing of  a  repetition  of  the  preceding,  seems  worthy  of  record : —

Joseph  Waldo's  medical  studies  at  Coventry  were  probably  pursued 
under  bis  brother  John.  He  appears  to  have  first  practised  his  pro- 
fession at  Springfield  and  probably  remained  there  and  at  Windham 
until  179-lr,  M'hen  he  settled  in  Ivielimond,  Mass.*  Finding  the  medical 
field  in  that  town  already  mtII  filled,  after  a  few  years  he  gave  up  the 
struggle;  and,  Apr.  24,  ISOO,  he  sold  his  estate  in  Richmond-  and 
removed  to  Ikrkshire,  N.  Y.,-'*  where  he  devoted  himself  to  his  pro- 
fession and  to  fanning. 

He  married,  July  15,  1788,  jirobably  at  Springfield,  Mass.,  Anne, 
daughter  of  Lulce  (Luke.,  Pehitinh,  Lawrence^  Tlioiaas)  and  Mary

he  was  licensed  to  preach  by  the  Association  of  Windham  County." 

At  this  time  Dr.  Cogswell,  Minister  to  Scotland,  called  him  ''  a  seusi- 
lile,  serious,  growing  youth,  no  orator,  but  likely  to  do  good  in  the 
world."-  "  He  preached  his  first  sermon  at  South  Mansfield.  After 
tins  he  preached  tliree  months  in  Bristol,  iu  Cornwall,  and  in  Torring-

and  tlien  went,  under  the  patronage  of  the  Evangelical  IMissionary 
Society,  to  Phode  Island,  where  he  labored  nine  years,  till  1820. 
Then  for  a  few  months  he  supplied  the  pulpit  at  Harvard,  JMass.,  after 
which  he  returned  to  Connecticut  and  became,  in  1823,  pastor  of 
the  church  in  Ivxeter,  a  parish  in  Lebanon,  Conn.,  on  a  salary  of  three 
liundred  dollars.  There  he  remained  twelve  years.  In  1835,  he

for  tin-ec  years.  In  1816,  lie  went  to  Ged<les  to  live  with  liis  son,  and

He  enjoyed  comfortable  health  till,  about  tlic  beginning  of  .luly,  he 
fell  down  stairs,  and  thereby  received  a  shock  from  which  he  never 
recovered.  Mr.  Waldo  was  a  great  reader,  and  possessed  a  niiml 
naturally  clear  and  well  balanced,  with  little  of  the  metaphysical  or 
the  imaginative.  He  was  one  of  tlic  most  contented  of  mortals  ;  and 
a  spirit  eniinentl}'  kind  and  genial,  a  keen  wit  and  large  stores  of 
knowledge,  made  him  a  most  agreeable  companion."  ^  A  photograph

among  the  school  catalogues  of  that  period  that  it  is  impossible  to 
place  him.  It  is  doubtful  if  he  went  to  England  with  his  father,  but 
he  probably  went  later  and  joined  him  at  Bristol,  where  he  became  a 
merchant.  He  nmst  have  soon  returned  to  Boston,  for,  Sept.  2it,

peculiar  advantages  on  one,  the  son  was  bound  apjjrentice  to  an  iron- 
smith  (.leremiah  Lincoln  of  Hingham).  Indications  of  talent,  and  of 
strong  inclination  for  literary  pursuits,  were  early  exhibited.  While 
he  yet  wrought  at  the  anvil,  he  indulged  the  taste  for  reading  in  tli'>

aii(i  after  .six  niontho  itrepnratiou  entered  Harvard  Univer.sity,  wliere 
he  was  graduated  in  1772.  Originally  intendin-  to  adopt  tlic  clerical 
profession,  his  purpose  was  changed  by  an  accidental  visit  to  the 
court>,  when  the  eloquence  of  the  elder  Adams  threw  its  poAver  over 
the  pending  cause.  lie  coininenccd  the  study  of  law  with  Daniel 
Karnhani,  Esq.,  in  Newburyport,  where  he  staid  a  year,  and  then 
conq.leted  his  novitiate  in  the  olliec  of  Joseph  IlaAvley  of  Northampton, 
distinguished  as  jurist,  statesman,  and  patriot.  In  April,  1775,  he 
marched  as  volunteer  with  the  minute-men  to  Cambridge  ;  as  the  emer- 
gency of  danger  which  called  for  the  service  had  passed,  he  returned ; 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Hampshire,  and  immediately  established 
himself  in  Worcester.  A  v.ide  and  clear  field  for  the  exertion  of 
talent  was  presented.  The  princii)al  men  of  the  county  had  espoused 
the  cause  of  the  royal  government,  and  been  driven  from  their 
homes,  or  deserted  their  country.  Two  lawyers  only  remained  at  tlie 
bar  when  the  temples  of  justice  were  reopened,  in  1775,  after  having 
been  closed  1  y  the  tumult  of  arms  for  a  year.  (Judge  John  Sprague 
of  Lancaster  and  Jo.shua  Upham  of  IJrookfield.)  Decision  of  char- 
acter and  energy  of  purjiose,  capacity  to  lead,  and  popular  address, 
soon  gave  him  prominent  station.  Introduced  into  extensive  busi- 
ness, he  still  devoted  his  talents  to  the  cause  of  independence,  and 
immediately  became  an  active  member  of  the  committees  of  the 
revolution.  Animated  appeals  to  patriotism  in  written  addresses,  and 
printed  communications  to  the  newsjiapcr  of  the  town,  attest  the  ardor 
of  Ills  devotion  and  the  powerful  expression  of  his  pen.  When  the 
courts  commenced,  after  their  susjiension,  in  Dec,  1775,  he  was 
appointed  Clerk.  Jn  Jan.,  1777,  on  resigning,  he  was  commissioned 
>>y  the  executive  council,  Judge  of  Probate,  and  held  the  office  till 
17>si,  when  it  was  relinquished,  in  consccjucnce  of  interference  with 
professional  engagements. 

"In  177t),  he  was  Sjiecially  designated  to  prosecute  the  claims  of 
government  to  the  large  estates  of  the  refugees  confiscated  under  the 
Ai)sentce  Act:  and  was  Commissioner  to  expedite  the  payment  of  the 
Continental  tax.  He  was  delegate  of  the  town  to  the  convention  in 
CamlM-idge  for  framing  a  state  constitution.  In  Feb.,  1781,  he  was 
elected  by  the  Legislature,  under  the  Confederation,  representative  in 
the  Continental  Congress,  but  the  honor  was  declined.  In  1 7Su,  he  was 
called  l)y  the  Supreme  Court  to  the  degree  of  barrister  at  Law,  a  judicial 
distinction  oidy  conferred  on  himself  and  Judge  8i)rague  in  the  county,

exerted  strong  influence  iu  tiie  legislative  action,  particularly  in  the 
inudilication  of  the  ju.licial  and   school    systems.     In  the  autumn  of 
l.SUU,  altliougli  iiis  deniucialic.  principles  were  known  to  be  opposed  to 
those  of  a  majority  of  tiic  electors,  he  was  returned  representative  to  th.- 
seventii  Congress,  and   was  clioscn  to  supply  the  vacancy  occasioned 
by  the  resignation  of  lion.   Dwight  Foster  at  the  then  next  session. 
lie  was  selected,  soon  after  taking  his  scat,  l»y  President  Jefferson  i,, 
form  one  of  his  cabinet.     On  the  5th  March,  ISOl,  he  was  appoiuhd 
Attorney  General  of  tlie  United  States,  and  was  i)rovisional  Secrctarv 
of  State,  until  the  arrival  of  Mr.  Madison  at  the  Federal  city,  in  Ma'v 
following.     Tiie  duties  of  the  former  chnrge  separating  him*  from  his 
family,  it  was  resigned,  after  nearly  four  years  service.     '  I  reccivc'd 
last  night,'  writes    Mr.  Jefferson,   Dec.   28,   1804,  'your  letter,  pro- 
posing to  resign  your  olllce ;  and  I  received  it  with  real  alHiction.     It 
would  have  been  my  greatest  happiness,  to  have  kej^t  together  to  the 
end  of  my  tenn  our  executive  family;   for  our  harmony  and  cordially 
ha\e  really  made  us  Ijut  as  one  family.   .   .   .   You  carry  with  you,  my 
entire  approbation  of  your  ollicial   conduct,  my  thanks  for  your  ser- 
vices, my  regrets  on  losing  them,  and  my  atlectionafc  friendship.'     In 
the  spring  of  1806,  he  was  elected  member  of  the  Council  of  Massa- 
chusetts.    In    1807,  and   1808,  he   was    Lieutenant  Governor  of  the 
Commonwealth.     On  the  decease  of  Gov.  Sullivan,  in  Dec,  1808,  he 
discharged  the   duties  of  Chief  Magistrate  for  the  remainder  of  th.' 
term  of  olHce.     He  was  nonn'nated  for  election  as  Governor,  in  lSO[t, 
but  in  the  revolution  of  party,  his  competitor,  Gov.  Gore,  prevailed. 
He  afterwards  declined  being  candidate,  when  the  ascendency  of  the 
political  principles  to  which  he  adhered,  would  have  rendered' success 
more  sure.     Jn  1810  and  1811,  he  was  again  councillor.     In  1811,  he 
was  appointed  by  President  Madison,  Associate  Justice  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the    United  States,   and  Mr.   Madison  in  a  most  fiattering 
letter  urged    his    acceptance,   but  weakness  of    sight,  terminating  in 
almost    total    blindness,  rendered  it    necessary  to  decline  even    such 
solicitation,   and  to  retire    from    public    life.     Partial    restoration   of 
vision,  enabled   him  to   resume  the  cultivation  of  the  farm  and  thr 
classical  stmlies,  both  objects  of  passionate  attachment,  and  among 
the  liekls  and  with  the  pages  of  his  favorite  Latin  authoi-s,  to  alleviate 
the  infirmities  of  decaying  health  and  pressing  age." 

"Tlui  number  of  important  oflices  which  Mr.  Lincoln  filled  give 
some  indication  of  the  estimation  in  which  his  talents  were  held"  by

counlrj.  He  was  learned  in  his  profession,  and,  in  his  addresses  to  a 
jtiry,  eloquent  and  sometimes  irresistible.  As  a  statesman,  he  was 
fearless  and  independent,  and  obtained  respect  ])y  his  energy  and 
decision  of  cliaracter,  and  not  by  the  practice  of  any  arts  to  secure 
|)()pidar  favor  and  pnblic  admiration." 

"  For  a  period  of  nearly  forty  years,"  says  Mr.  Willard,  "  he  was 
in  active  life,  and  bore  leading  jiart  amid  vast  and  important  changes 
ill  onr  community,  such  as  none  of  the  ])resent  generation  can  be 
called  on  to  witness.  lie  was,  without  question,  at  the  head  of  the 
bar,  from  tiie  close  of  the  Kevolution  till  he  left  our  courts  at  the 
commencement  of  the  present  century.  His  professional  business  far 
exceeded  that  of  any  other  uiember  of  the  bar.  He  was  retained  in 
every  case  of  importance;  and  for  many  years,  constantly  attended 
liie  courts  in  Hampshire  and  ^Middlesex.  His  great  command  of  lan- 
giKige,  his  power  in  searching  out  the  truth  froiu  unwilling  witnesses, 
ill  analyzing,  arrranging  and  piresenting  to  the  mind  the  evidence 
of  the  case,  rendered  hini  a  highly  popular  advocate,  and  gave  him 
great  success  in  jury  trials.  "Wide  reading  and  extensive  practice 
constituted  him  a  learned  juiist." 

He  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the  American  Academy  of 
Arts  and  Sciences,  trustee  of  Leicester  Academy,  first  president  of 
Ihe  Worcester  Agricultural  Society  and  associate  of  many  useful  insti- 
tutions. The  following  obituary  appeared  in  the  Spy,  Apr.  2G,  1820, 
a  few  days  after  his  decease  : — 

"  With  perhaps  but  one  or  two  exceptions,  we  have  now  followed  to 
tlie  tomb  the  last  of  that  illustrious  band  of  Statesmen  and  Lawyers, 
who  laid  the  foundation  of  that  admirable  system  of  government  and 
laws,  which  for  forty  years  have  afforded  security  and  dispensed  bless- 
ings to  our  Commonwealth.  Their  works  form  for  them  collectively, 
u  monument  durable  as  onr  liberties;  but  without  the  aid  of  some 
faithful  biographer,  what  will  posterity  know  of  many  of  them  indi- 
vuhiully.  Our  Law  Reports  have  indeed  'erected  a  frail  memorial' 
for  those  who  have  been  accidentally  named  in  them — but  thttse  whose 
I'lastick  hands  formed  and  matured  the  majestick  fal)rick  of  our  laws 
iiud  liberties,  who  gave  the  first  practical  construction  to  our  Constitu- 
bi>n,  will  soon  be  remembered  no  more. — ^Vhile  we  are  protected  and 
'•'•niforted  by  its  shade,  it  certainly  would  be  an  instructive  as  well  as 
H  curious  emi)loyment  to  trace  from  the  acorn  the  gradual  development

place  u()on  record  tlie  history  of  their  lives,  particularly  those  instnic- 
tivo  and  interesting  anecdotes  that  connect  them  with  the  great  histtu y 
of  the  country.  Few  of  our  lawyers  and  divines  are  acquainted  wiih 
the  fact  that  the  ai'liitrary  encroaeliments  of  the  Ivoyalist  Clergyineu, 
in  the  year  177^,  were  first  successfully  resisted  here,  and  that  t(;o  l.y 
Rlr.  Lincohi — that  it  probably  Avas  iiis  exertions  tliat  lii'st  defined  and 
settled  the  often  conllicting  interests  (^f  ^Minister,  Church  and  Parish. 
How  few  of  our  rising  jioliticians  have  Itcen  tauglit  that  the  first  jirac- 
tical  comment  on  the  introductory  clause  of  the  Bill  of  Kights  was 
first  given  by  a  Worcester  jury:  That  it  was  here  first  shown,  by  the 
irresistil.ile  eloquence  of  Lincoln,  that  all  men  were  in  truth  born  fi'ef 
and  equal,  and  that  a  Court  sitting  under  the  authority  of  our  Consti- 
tution ccnihl  not  admit  as  a  justilication  for  an  assault,  the  principle  (tf 
Master  and  Slave: — 'J'hat  it  was  the  memorable  verdict  obtained  upon 
this  trial,  which  first  broke  the  fetters  of  negro  slavery  in  Massachu- 
setts, and  let  the  oppressed  free.  This  deed  of  Judge  Lincoln,  even 
if  it  stood  alone,  ought  to  consecrate  his  memory  with  every  freeman.'" 

More  than  eighty  years  later,  the  glorious  achievement  thus  recorded 
as  begun,  in  favor  of  the  emancipation  of  the  slave,  by  one  descen- 
dant from  Samuel  Lincoln,  the  Ilingham  settler,  was  completed  by 
another  descendant,  Abraham  Lincoln,  late  President  of  the  United 
States.

times  lilirarian,  corresponding-  secretary,  secretary  for  domestic  corres- 
pondence and  member  of  tlie  committee  of  jinblication  of  the  American

iAlass.,2  bapt.  Jan.  23,  17G3;  died  July  9,  184o,  at  Worcester,  Mass. 3 
He  was  educated  to  be  a  merchant,  and  was  taken  into  partnership  by 
his  father  soon  after  the  family  removed  to  Worcester.  This  partner- 
ship was  dissolved  Dec.  31,  1791;  and,  thereafter,  for  nearly  thirty 
years,  the  younger  Daniel  conducted,  by  himself,  a  very  extended 
hardware  business,  and  accumulated  thereby  what,  in  those  days,  was 
considered  a  large  fortune.  Although  he  was  an  influential  and 
leading  citizen,  and  his  name  occurs  with  great  frequency  in  the  town 
records,  he  held  no  town  oiliec,  save  such  minor  positions  as  clerk  of 
the  market  and  fircward.  He  shunned  rather  than  souglit  political 
preferment,  and  it  was  with  I'eluctance  that  he  consented  to  serve  as 
state  senator,  to  which  position  he  was  elected  in  1S16  and  the  two 
following  years.  In  hSli  he  was  a  member  of  the  famous  Hartford 
convention.  He  succeeded  his  father  as  president  of  the  AVorcestcr 
(now  Worcester  Natioital)  liank  in  Oct.,  1801,  and  held  that  ofilce 
initil  his  death,  a  period  of  forty-one  years.  In  1828  he  was  elected 
first  president  of  the  Worcester  County  Institation  for  Savings,  which 
ollice  he  also  held  until  his  death.  He  was  ])resident  of  the  Worcester 
Agricultural  Society  from  1820  to  1821,  and  was  connected  with  many 
other  local  societies  and  institutions.  In  180G  jMr.  Waldo  built  a

1851,  to  Waldo  Street,  to  make  i-ooni  for  IMeclianic-s  Hull,  and  is  now 
a  liotcl,  known  as  the  "  Waldo  House." 

"  Mr.  \\'aldo  was  a  true  Christian  gentleman,  catholic  in  s})irit,  and 
most  cxeinplary  in  manners  and  morals.  He  was  a  munificcut  public 
benefactor,  charitable  to  the  needy,  assistini:;  and  encouraging  the 
meritorious,  and  freely  ajid  lilierally  contributing  to  measures  for  the 
instruction  and  improvement  of  all.  The  beautiful  IJui-al  Cemetery 
and  the  Central  Cliurch  (the  original  building,  now  abandoned  foi' 
church  pur}ioses,  but  long  known  as  '  the  Waldo  Church')  are  proofs 
of  his  considerate  regard  to  the  wants  of  the  community,  and  were 
gifts  of  his  bounty,  while  the  distribution,  ])y  will,  of  the  bulk  of  his 
great  wealth  to  bcnelicent  institutions  v.ill  bear  })erpetual  witness  to 
his  expansive  philanthropy."  ^  By  Mr.  Waldo's  will,  the  sum  of  one 
huiKired  and  seventy-three  thousand  dollars  was  left  in  bequests  to 
various  charitable  and  religious  societies,  the  largest  ])eneficiaries  beinij: 
the  Massachusetts  General  Hospital  and  the  Ainerican  Board  of  Com- 
missioners for  Foreign  Missions.  A  long  and  enthusiastic  tribute  to 
his  character  was  puldished  in  the  Ma.ssachv setts  S]>>/,  Julv  23,  184."). 
He  was  never  married,  and-  in  him  became  extinct,  in  America,  the 
male  line  of  Cornelius  (Cor)irlius)  ^Valdo ;  the  only  representatives  of 
that  line  now  bearing  the  name  of  Waldo  being  the  descendants  of 
his  uncle  .loseph  ['"f,'/],  all  of  whom  now  reside  in  Eurojie. 

In  181.3  Daniel  Waldo  Avas  a  hardv/arc  merchant  in  Boston,  at  oO 
Broad  Street,  probably  for  a  short  time  only,  as  his  name  appears  in 
the  directory  for  that  year,  but  not  in  the  succeeding  one.

from  the  roof  of  his  house.-  His  gravestone  at  Royalton  erroneously 
says  1819.  He  removed  to  Royalton  about  1791,  iu  which  year  his 
name  first  appears  on  the  Grand  List  of  that  town,  but  he  had  appar- 
ently visited  the  town  at  an  earlier  date  and  perliaps  lived  there  for  a 
time,  since  in  a  deed  dated  July  10,  1787,  by  which  he  purchased  of 
Timothy  Durkee  one-half  of  an  hundred  acre  lot  in  Royalton,  lie  is 
described  as  of  Royalton.  The  name  "  Zacheus  Waldo,"  ou  the 
Grand  List  of  Royalton  for  1793,  is  probably  intended  for  him,  in 
which  case  he  went  to  Royalton  in  that  year,  prol)abIy  soon  after  the 
birth  of  his  eldest  son,  which  is  recorded  at  Thompson,  Conn. 

Aug.  2-4,  1S18,  Abigail  Waldo  was  appointed  "  Administratrix  on 
the  estate  of  her  late  husband  Zechariah  Waldo,  late  of  Royalton, 
deceased."  The  appraisal  of  his  estate  names  a  farm  of  one  hundred 
and  thirty  acres  with  buildings,  in  Royalton,  valued  at  ?100U.  The 
personal  estate  was  valued  at  §730.50.3  This  farm,  some  years  after 
his  death,  came  into  the  possession  of  his  son  Sullivan,  by  quitclaim 
deeds  from  the  other  children.'' 

He  was  a.  soldier  in  the  Revolution,  and  his  widow  Abigail  made  an 
application  for  a  pension  Oct.  IG,  1838,  at  which  time  she  was  sixty- 
four  years  of  age  and  residing  at  Royalton,  and  the  same  was  allowed 
by  reason  of  her  husband's  service  in  the  Connecticut  troops  during 
the  Revolutionary  war.  Papers  on  tile  show  that  lie  ''enlisted  in  the

July  8,  1787,  at  IJoyaltou,'  Jaboz,  son  of  Tilly  and  Sarah  rarkhur.st 
of  Ivoyalton  ;  date  and  place  of  his  birth  unknown.  Mis  death  is  not 
recorded  at  Royalton  ;  but  it  occurred  before  Aug.  20,  1821,  when 
Lucy  Parlchurst  of  lioyalton  was  apj'tointed  administratrix  on  the 
estate  of  ^lajor  Jabez  Parkhurst,  late  of  Royalton,  deceased." 
Jabez  Parkhurst  is,  with  Tilly  and  C'tilvin  Parkhurst,  named  in  the 
list  of  original  proprietors  of  Royalton.  In  a  deed  dated  July  2, 
1774,  Tilly  Parkhuist  is  called  of  Plainfield,  Conn.^  Perhaps  Jabez 
was  born  there.  That  he  was  a  son  of  Tilly  is  shown  by  the  following- 
deeds  on  record  at  Royalton.  Apr.  25,  1803,  Tilly  Parkhurst  of 
Royalton,  "  for  love  and  good  will  wich  I  OAve  to  my  well  beloved  son 
Jabez  Parkhurst  of  the  same  Ro^^alton,"  conveyed  to  him  "one 
hundred  acres  in  Lot  No.  1  large  allotment  ....  I  being  the 
original  grantee."  On  the  same  date,  Jabez  Parkhurst  of  Royalton, 
"for  and  in  consideration  of  the  duty  I  owe,"  conveyed  a  life  interest 
to  "  my  honoured  father  and  mother  Tillo  and  Sarah  Parkhurst  of 
Royalton"  in  an  estate  in  Roj'alton,  conveyed  to  him  by  the  said 
Tille  on  the  same  date.^  These  deeds  are  witnessed  by  Godfrey 
"Waldo,  a  brother  of  I\Irs.  Lucy  Parkhurst.  iMr.  Parkhurst  had  pre- 
viously purchased  of  his  father  the  adjoining  farm,  by  deed  dated 
Apr.  22,  1785,  by  which  Tilly  Parkhurst  of  Royalton  conveyed  to 
"  Jabish  Parkhurst  of  Royalton"  for  £150  "  all  my  right  title  esL.'^te 
property  and  demand  of  and  (unto)  the  one  half  of  the  Lot  or  farm 
that  I  now  live  on  being  Lot  No.  1  in  the  large  alotmcnt"  in  Royalton, 
containing  two  hundred  and  sixty-five  acres.  Dec.  5,  1785,  Jabez 
Parkhurst  of  Ro3'alton,  yeoman,  conveyed  one  hundred  acres  in 
Royalton,  "  Lot  No.  34,"  of  which  he  was  "  the  original  grantee."  ^ 
He  bought  and  sold  land  in  Sharon,  Vt.,  also;  but,  ap[)arently,  never

dhdf.  Walter,  son,  probably,  of  Daniel  ( ZacJiariah,  Daniel^ 
Cor  II  ell  us)  and  Lois  (Dana)  Waldo,  was  born,  date  unknown,  proba- 
bly in  Pomfret,  Vt.  No  record  of  his  deatli  has  been  found.  There 
is  no  positive  evidence  that  he  was  son  of  Daniel  and  Lois;  but  his 
close  coinieetion  with  Willard  Pierce  and  Jabez  Parkhurst,  \Yho  mar- 
ried their  daughters,  his  residence  in  the  same  county  with  Daniel,  and 
the  impossibility  of  finding  any  other  parents  for  him,  make  it  likely 
that  he  Y»'as  their  son.  On  the  other  hand  his  marriage  in  1792  to 
a  widow,  who  was  first  married  in  1780,  points  to  his  being  a  much 
older  man  than  he  Avould  have  been  if  a  sou  of  Daniel  and  Lois.  It 
is  doubtful  if  his  parentage  is  ever  positively  learned.  The  first 
knowledge  that  we  have  of  Walter  Waldo  is  from  the  record  of  his 
marriage  at  Royalton.  "  Walter  Waldo  and  Permela  Parkhurst,  both 
of  Iloyalton,  were  married  Aug.  9,  1792,  by  Abel  Stevens,  J.  P."^ 
The  following  records  establish  her  identity  : — "  Calvin  Parkhurst  and 
Permela  Robinson  were  joined  together  in  holy  matrimony,  Nov.  9, 
1780."  2  Their  children  recorded  at  Royalton,  were — Heman,  born 
Mch.  25,  1781,  died  Juue  8,  1784;  Cynthya,  born  Feb.  27,  1785; 
Permela  and  lietsa,  born  June  20,  1787.  Mr.  Parkhurst  died  between 
July  7,  1791,  when  he  executed  a  deed  of  land  in  Royalton,''  and  Dec. 
9,  1791,  when  Pamela  Parkhurst,  Ebenezer  Parkhurst  and  Amos 
Robinson  were  appointed  administrators  on  the  estate  of  Col.  Calvin

There  is  nothing  to  show  from  whom  he  got  his  title.     Nathan  AValdo 
[bdbcl  of  Canterbujy,   Conn.,   being  one  of  the  proprietors  of    tlu- 
town,    conveyed    away   his    pro])rietary    interest   about    twelve    years 
before  that,  so  Walter  could   not  have  derived   his  title   by  heirship 
from  him.     No  other  AValdo  appears  to  have  owned  land  in  Hartford 
and   no   Waldo  appears    in   the   necrology   list  of    the   cemeteries  in 
Tuckers     "History    of    Hartford."      He    probably    removed    fron, 
Hartford. 

The  following  from  the  town  records  of  Chelsea.   Vt.,   seemed   t 
prove   that   Walter   AValdo  removed   to  Chelsea;    that  he   married 
.second   wife,   by  whom    he  had  certainly  two  children;   and  that  1

"Edward  Poasc  of  Ri(K)kfiold,  Vt.  and  Ivlioda  Waldo  were  marrif^i 
Jan.  24,  1827,  by  Calvin  Noble,  I\liui.slcr  of  Ihc  Gospel,  at  Chelsea." 

"  Warren  King  of  Bridgewatcr,  V/indsor  Co.,  Vt.  and  Khoda-Jane 
Waldo  of  Chelsea  were  married  at  Chelsea  Sept.  1.'),  1835." 

Since  the  forcgoinii  was  written  it  has  been  learned  that  the  grave- 
stone of  ramela  Vv^aldo  is  still  standing  at  Norwich,  Vt.,  inscribed  as 
follows :-—"  Pamela  Waldo  Died  July  31,  1843,  Aged  84."  Repre- 
sentatives of  the  Tilden  family  say  that  she  was  the  mother  of  Lucy 
(Waldo)  Tilden  [dJtcJfc]  and  that  her  first  husband  was  a  Tarkhurst. 
It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  the  Walter  Waldo  who  was  Jiiarried  at  Chel- 
sea in  1814  was  not  her  husband.  He  may  have  been  her  son,  born 
between  Calvin  and  Lois,  or  perhaps  "Calvin  "  is  an  error  for  Walter. 
From  her  age  at  death,  Pamela  was  born  iu  1750  or  17G0,  and  was 
therefore  several  years  older  than  her  second  husband.

She  married,  in  Vermont,  Jeremiah-Folsom  Ri-yant.  His  parents  were 
people  of  -wealth,  as  is  evident  from  the  fact  that  he  was  in  receipt  of 
a  regular  allowance  even  after  his  marriage ;  and  he  inherited  $3000 
as  his  share  of  his  father's  estate.  He  was  a  wild  youth  and  ran  away 
from  home,  enlisting  on  board  the  "  Constitution,"  on  which  he  served 
at  the  time  of  the  embargo.  He  was  unsuccessful  in  business,  and 
owing  to  his  dissipated  liabits  his  family  was  reduced  to  poverty.  His 
father  is  said  to  have  been  of  the  same  family  as  the  poet  William- 
CuUen  Bryant.  His  mother  is  said  to  have  been  a  P'olsom.  He  was 
killed  by  a  pistol  in  the  hands  of  his  son-in-law,  John  Luckett,  who 
was  afterwards  tried  for  murder,  luit  was  acquitted  on  the  grounds  of 
self  defence.^

bapt.  June  22,  1782  (sic)  \^  died  Nov.  22,  1814,  at  Woousocket,  R.  I.^ 
He  is  buried  at  Pomfret  iu  the  Grosvenor  bur^'iug-ground.  As  a  youth 
he  was  desirous  of  becoming  a  ph^'sician,  and  bis  uncle,  Dr.  Albigence 
Waldo  [f?7ii'],  offered  to  assist  him  ;  but  his  father  desired  him  to  work 
on  the  farm  and  his  uncle  dying  before  the  boy  was  old  enough  to 
assert  himself,  he  gave  up  his  ambition,  very  much  to  his  disappoint- 
ment. After  his  father's  death,  having  no  taste  for  farming,  he 
invested  his  whole  property  in  a  stage  route  between  Boston  and 
Hartford,  wliich  proved  linaucially  unsuccessful  and  his  estate  in 
Pomfret  was  taken  in  execution  of  suits  by  various  creditors.^  His 
wife  having  died,  Mr.  AValdo,  discouraged  by  his  ill  success,  left  his 
younger  children  in  the  care  of  relatives  and  betook  himself  to  a  sea- 
faring life,  which  he  followed  until  shortly  before  his  death. 

He  married  (1),  May  12,  1805,  at  Norwich,  Conn.,  perhaps,  but 
the  marriage  is  recorded  only  in  Pomfret,  Lucinda,  daughter  of  Abiel 
(Ahiel,  Abiel)  and  Lucinda  (Clement)  Cheney  of  Norwich  [dfcb]  ; 
born  Mch.  5,  1783,  at  Norwich ;-  died  May  9,  1826,  at  Pomfret.^     She

is  followed  by  the  following  account  of  Mr.  Waldo,  which  is  praeti- 
oally  all  that  has  been  learned  of  him. 

"  The  subject  of  this  notice  was  born  in  Pomfret,  Conn.,  in  1779,  and 
was  the  son  of  Doct.  Albigence  Waldo,  and  is  the  last  of  the  family, 
his  youngest  sister  dying  Inst  June,  and  his  youngest  lu'other,  five 
years  since,  licing  the  only  ones  of  his  brothers  and  sisters  to  see  three 
score  years.  His  father  and  Ceiieral  Putnam  being  relatives  by  mar- 
ritige,  and  living  in  the  same  neighborhood,  he  recollected  the  old  hero 
well,  and  had  often  held  the  liorse  for  the  General  to  mount.  He  was 
left  an  orphan  at  the  age  of  fifteen,  and  soon  after  his  father's  death 
was  apprenticed  to  his  eldest  brother,  who  was  state  printer  in  Georgia  ; 
but  he  dying  in  a  few  short  months  of  yellow  fever,  he  (Thomas) 
took  to  a  seafaring  life,  and  went  '  down  to  the  sea  in  ships  '  for  near 
thirty  years,  having  sailed  into  almost  ever}^  poi't.  Arriving  at  man- 
hood, he  became  captain  nnd  owner  of  a  vessel,  and  many  were  the 
storms  and  tempests  he  weathered,  and  many  his  daring  adventures 
while  plowing  the  mighty  ocean.  Meeting  with  a  serious  accident, 
wliich  laid  him  on  his  bed  for  weeks,  he  disposed  of  his  vessel,  and.

on  his  recovery,  was  united  in  holy  wedlock  to  the  companion  of  his 
choice,  who  had  watched  over  and  nursed  him  during  his  confinement, 
and  settled  in  Boston,  and,  at  the  end  of  two  years,  removed  to 
Charleston,  South  Carolina,  where  he  was  pro^irietor  of  a  hotel.  lie 
sold  out  after  a  year's  residence  and  came  to  New  York  City,  where 
he  has  lived  for  twenty  years.  A  few  years  since,  through  the  treach- 
ery of  friends,  he  lost  his  pro]>erty,  and,  becoming  feeble  and  infirm, 
he  was  admitted  in  the  'Sailors'  Snug  IJarbor,'  founded  by  a  benev- 
olent Randall,  for  the  benefit  of  worn-out  sailors.  For  two  3'ears  past 
the  great  subject  of  religion  engaged  and  engrossed  bis  attention,  and 
the  Bible  was  studied  and  read  through  by  course,  and  then,  and  not 
till  then,  did  he  fully  realize  the  Being  who  '  held  the  winds  in  his  fists,' 
and  did  '  show  wonders  in  the  mighty  deep.'  He  was  deeply  interested 
in  poring  over  its  pages,  and  became  humbled  until  his  whole  nature 
became  changed.  He  had  been  gradually  failing  for  the  last  few 
months,  when,  at  9  o'clock  of  the  evening  above  mentioned,  he  slept 
the  sleep  that  knows  no  waking  till  the  trump  of  God  shall  summon 
all  to  judgment.  He  has  left  good  evidence  liehiud  that  all  is  well 
with  him  beyond  the  grave.  His  trials  are  ended,  his  troubles  are 
over,  and  we  have  good  reason  to  believe  he  has  joined  those  who 
have  gone  before  in  the  New  Jerusalem.  He  leaves,  a  widow  and 
numerous  other  relatives  to  mourn  their  loss  which  is  his  gain.  Peace 
to  his  ashes." 

Thomas-Fanning  Waldo  was  named  after  Capt.  Thomas  Fanning  of 
Scotland,  Conn.,  who  married  Mrs.  Thebe  Hurlbut,  Jan.  14,  1773.' 

The  name  of  his  wife  and  the  dates  of  their  marriage  and  of  her 
death  have  not  been  learned.  His  name  appears  in  the  New  York 
directories  betv.een  1807  and  1852,  sometimes  as  Thomas,  once  as 
Thonias-B.,  and  at  other  times  as  Thomas-F.  There  being  no  other 
Thomas  AValdo  known  at  that  time,  it  is  probable  that  Thomas- 
I'^anning  is  meant  in  all  cases,  and  he  is  undoubtedly  the  Thonv.is 
Waldo  who  lived  on  George  Street,  Boston,  in  182G.- 

Whether  the  "  Hencry  Waldo  died  Mch.  11,  1832,  at  89  James  St. 
aged  2  years,  born  at  New  York,  and  buried  in  the  Potters  Field" 
was  his  son  is  uncertain,  but  is  probable,  since  all  the  other  Waldos 
known  to  have  been  then  living  in  New  York  were  well  to  do.^ 
Apparentl}'  no  children  survived  him. 

From  the  New  York  directoiies  it  appears  that: — 
TiioMAS  AValdo,  rij,'gor,  lived  in  Cross  St.,  1807.

to  Whitesboro  aud  from  thence  b}'  the  wa}-  of  Paris  IIUI  to  l^rid;j;('- 
waler.  From  Paris  II ill  they  were  obliged  to  make  their  road 
as  they  progressed,  following  a  line  of  marked  trees.  Their  team 
consisted  of  two  yoke  of  oxen  and  a  horse  and  the  vehicle  an 
ox  sled.  Tliey  arrived  on  the  Ith  of  March.  TJie  suow  at  this 
time  was  about  one  and  one  hnlf  feet  deep  but  soon  increased  to  the 
depth  of  four  feet.  They  had  two  cows  which,  with  the  oxen  and 
horse,  subsisted,  until  the  snow  left,  upon  browse  alone.  Upon  their 
arrival  they  erected  a  shanty  of  the  most  primitive  style.  Four 
crotclied  sticks  set  in  the  ground,  with  a  roof  of  split  basswood  over- 
laid with  hemlock  boughs,  with  siding  composed  of  coverlets  and 
blankets,  formrd  the  first  dwelling  house  ever  erected  in  the  town  of 
Bridgewater.  The  three  families  continued  in  this  miserable  apology 
for  a  house  until  midsummer,  when  two  of  them,  having  more  com- 
fortable dwellings  itrovided,  removed  to  them  while  tlic  other  remaiiied 
for  a  year.  In  1702  Ephraim  AValdo  built  a  store  and  blacksmith 
shop  u[)on  Farwell's  Hill  and  these  were  the  first  in  town."  >  Perhaps 
for  1789  we  should  read  1791,  the  year  that  Ejihraim  sold  his  house 
at  liolton,  or  1792,  the  year  in  which  he  is  said  to  have  built  the 
store.  About  1801  he  removed  from  Bridgewater  to  Royalton,  Niagara 
County,  N.  Y. 

He  was  a  commissary  in  the  American  army  in  the  war  of  1812, 
and  was  present  and  took  part  iu  the  battle  of  Queenstowu  Heights, 
Oct.  13,  1812,  and  was  never  heard  of  afterwards.  It  is  a  tradition 
iu  the  family  that,  while  the  American  army  was  retreating  or  being 
driven  towards  tlie  river,  Ephraim  was  seen  liy  a  cousin  or  an 
uncle,  who  was  in  tlie  ranks  with  him,  to  fall — whether  from  a  stumble 
or  a  wound  is  unknown — and  his  comrade,  looking  Itack,  saw  him 
leaning  on  his  sword  as  if  wounded,  and  the  Indians  coming  up  behind 
him.  His  fate  is  unknown.  After  the  sui'reuder  of  the  Americans,  he 
was  looked  for  among  the  dead,  wounded  and  prisonei's,  but  was  not 
found,  hence  it  is  supposed  that  he  succeeded  in  reaching  the  Heights, 
attempted  to  swim  the  river  and  was  drowned  in  the  attempt,  like 
many  others.  He  was  a  good  swimmer,  and,  if  not  Avoundcd,  perhaps 
would  have  esciped.  It  is  i-elated  of  him,  that,  having  been  c:ii)ture(] 
by  a  press  gang  and  placed  on  boaixl  a  man-of-war,  off  Q,uel)ec,  he 
jumped  overboard  in  the  night  and  swam  ashore,  a  distance  of  three 
miles.     He  was  a  blacksmith  by  tiade. 

He  married   (1),    Eunice,  daughter,  probably  of    Dan  and  Phclie

iu  establishin;^'  tlieir  characters,  and  shapiti'j;  their  destinies.  AlthouLrli 
zealously  dcvoteil  to  politics  for  t^venty  years,  it  is  an  act  of  simple  jus- 
tice to  his  memory  to  say  that  he  scrnitulously  shunned  the  politician's 
vices,  and  uniformly  cast  the  Mei<,'ht  of  his  intluonce.  perceptively  an<l 
practically,  on  the  side  of  good  order,  sound  morality,  temperance  ami 
reli.Lrion. 

"  Warm  in  liis  friendships,  kind,  atlable  in  his  intercourse  with  man- 
kind, hospital)le,  companionable,  clieerful  in  teuiper;unent,  e.xemplary  in 
all  the  relations  of  life,  he  could  not  fail  co  have  many  friends  mIio 
greatly  deplore  his  death.  In  the  relations  of  husband,  JFather,  friend, 
he  met  the  requisitions  made  upon  him  to  a  generous  and  unusual  extent, 
and  many  that  survived  him  had  abundant  reasons  to  cherish  sunny  mem- 
ories of  him. 

"  Mrs.  Jonathan  Taylor  v/as  one  of  the  excellent  of  the  earth;  a  model 
pioneer  woman,  who  practiced  all  the  matronly  virtues,  led  an  industri- 
ous, useful  life,  and  died  regretted  by  many  friends.  She  had  a  line 
intellect,  sound  judgment,  good  sense,"  and  had,  by  observation,  inter- 
course with  the  world,  and  also  I)y  reading,  acfpdred  a  large  fund  of 
information.  She  always  cherished  the  tihristian  faith,  and  was  for 
more  than  forty  years  in  commuuiou  with  the  Presbyterian  Church. 
Living,  during  her  childhood  and  early  Avomanhood,  among  the  frontier 
settlers,  and  being  left  in  widowhood  in  charge  of  a  large  family  for 
nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century,  many  requisitions  were,  of^course,  made 
upon  her  for  the  exhibition  of  the  qualities  al)Ove  ascribed  to  her  and 
for  the  prnctice  of  the  high  womanly  virtues  which  distinguished  her  hon- 
ored and  pre-eminently  useful  career  of  seventy-four  years. 

"  In  the  oilier  of  Providence,  she  was  called" to  encounter  more  of  the 
ills  incident  to  humanity  than  fell  to  the  lot  of  most  persons,  and  to  grnp- 
ple  with  an  unusual  allotment  of  the  sterner  realities  of  life,  but  she  met 
them  with  firmness,  comiiosure,  resignation,  and  wuth  more  than  the 
lauded  heroism  of  Koman  matr(jns,  with  the  overcoming  energy  and 
stout-heartedness  of  a  western  pioneer  woman,  with  the  fortitude  of  a

bury,  Vt.,  probably;  died  Aug.  7,  1858,  at  South  Champion,  N.  Y. 
She  was  taken  by  her  parents  when  an  infant  to  Western,  Oneida 
County,  N.  Y.,  and  married,  Mch.  14,  1708,  ja-obalily,  at  Western, 
James,  son  of  William  Brown  of  Warren,  ]\Ias3.;  bJrn  Apr.  IG, 
1772,  at  Warren;  died  May  2,  1857,  at  South  Champion.  His  father, 
William  Brown,  is  said  to  have  been  a  iJevolutionary  soldier. 

They  lived,  at  first,  at  Bridgewater,  N.  Y.,  but  removed  in  1804  to 
Champion,  where  Mr.  Brown  bought  a  square  mile  of  land  from  the 
original  ]n-oprietor,  Mr.  Ciiampion,  from  whom  the  town  was  named. 
It  was  then  a  wilderness;  their  house  was  of  logs,  and  wolves  used  to 
come  up  to  the  garden  fence  and  howl.  For  some  years,  ]\Ir.  Brov/n 
kept  a  tavern,  but  finally  abandoned  this  business  and  devoted  himself 
wholly  to  the  farm,  which  was  called  the  best  in  Champion.  The  follow- 
ing obituary  notice  of  Mrs.  Brown  was  written  by  a  lifelong  friend  : — 

"  Mrs.  Anna  Brown  and  her  husband,  James  Brown,  niin)i<.'rated  to 
Champion  when  what  was  then  known  as  the  Black  Kiver  Country  was  an 
interminable  forest;  conscf]UPntly,  she  was  familiar  with  the  hardsiiips  and 
privations  incident  to  a  settlement  in  the  wilderness.  Her  steadfastness  of 
purpose,  doterniination  of  will  and  enerfjy  of  action  qnalitied  her  to  meet  and 
overcome  dilllculties,  before  which  feeliler  minds  and  less  determined  wills 
would  liave  faltered  and  failed.  With  these  sterner  qualities  of  mind,  coupled 
with  unusually  active  physical  encr.iries,  slie  was  eminently  titled  to  become 
the  lielpmeet  to  a  man  in  subjui^ating  a  wilderness  and  prepariuir  it  for  the 
abode  of  Christian  relinement  and  civilization.  Altliouph  the  sickly  sensi- 
bility that  can  Aveep  at  the  recital  of  Ilctitious  woes  found  no  lodi;nient  in  her 
bosom,  yet  the  truly  unfortunate  were  sure  to  lind  in  her  a  sympathiziuf:; 
friend,  a  prudent  counsellor,  a  i)rorapt  and  enkient  helpta-  in  time  of  need; 
and  want,  not  induced  by  vice,  went  from  her  door  with  a  lighter  lieart  and 
more  elastic  step." '

from  the  "•Beckwith  Genealog}',"  which  is  full  of  errors  as  to  this 
family.     It  quotes  the  following  from  the  U.  S.  pension  records: — 

"  '  Rufus  Beckwitli :  at  Chelsea,  Orange  County,  N.  Y.,'  (sic)  '  18C1,  appeared

upon  which  was  written  :  — 

'  lU'i'iiS  Beckwith;  bori:  Mny  12,  17G4.

The  )iame  "  Sadie"  in  tlie  foiegoing  is  a  bad  misreading  for  Waldo, 
and  the  date,  if  intended  for  the  marriage,  is  probably  an  error  for 
Jau.  1,  1791.  The  dates  of  birth  do  not  agree  with  the  'Williamstown 
records,  which  must  be  assumed  to  be  correct,  although  they  evidently 
make  a  mistake  of  a  year  in  the  birth  of  cither  Samuel  or  Josiah.

nelius) and  Hannah  (Carlton)  Waldo;  born  Apr.  20,  1772,  at 
Alstcad,  N.  H. ; '  died  Mch.  13,  1839,  at  Shalersville,  Portage  Co.,  0.^ 
He  passed  his  early  life  in  Alstead,  being  cerlainl}'  there  as  late  as 
May  21,  1793,  when  be,  with  his  father  and  his  uncle  Edward  Waldo, 
signed  a  petition  against  a  division  of  the  town  of  Alstead.^  At  or 
about  tlie  time  of  his  first  marriage  he  moved  to  East  Brookfield,  Vt., 
and  remained  there  until  1815,  when  he  emigrated  with  his  family  to 
Ohio  and  settled,  in  the  spring  of  1816,  on  a  farm  in  the  township  of 
Shalersville  and  lived  there  until  his  death. 

lioswell  Waldo  was  of  light  complexion,  with  blue  eyes,  light  brown 
hair  and  sandy  whiskers.  He  v.as  abcuit  five  feet  ten  inches  in  height, 
squarely  and  solidly  built  and  very  active  and  strong.  In  features, 
build  and  personal  appearance  he  much  resembled  his  father.  He  was 
a  Presbyterian  in  religion  and  a  deacon  in  the  church.  In  politics  he 
was  a  whig.  His  wife  Zilpha  was  a  tall,  large  and  very  powerful 
woman,  with  blue  eyes  and  light  brown  hair,  superior  in  muscular 
strength  to  her  husband.  She  would  lift  a  barrel  of  cider  into  and 
out  of  a  wagon  with  little  apparent  effort.  It  is  related  of  her  that 
when  her  husband,  ill  with  typhus  fever  and  delirious,  escaped  from 
l.'.o  attendants  and  ran  out  of  the  house,  she  ran  after  him,  seized  liiin, 
picked  him  uj)  in  her  arms  as  she  would  a  child,  carried  him  back  to 
the  house,  laid  him  on  his  bed  and  held  him  there  until  he  became 
<piiet.  Amarilla  Lord,  his  second  wife,  was  of  average  height,  rather 
fleshy,  of  dark  complexion,  with  black  hair  and  piercing  black  eyes. 
It  was  said  that  she  had  Indian  blood  in  her  veins.  After  the  death 
of  Mr.  Waldo  she  continued  to  live  at  the  old  homestead  with  her 
daug.  ^'•r  Philenda  until  1867,  when  the  old  farm  was  sold  and  they 
ren>oved  to  Mount  Union,  O.,  where  the  Prestons  were  living  in  1881.''

father's  trusted  confidant  and  friend.  After  her  father's  second  mar- 
riage she  became  warmly  attached  to  her  stepmother  and  her  children, 
one  of  whom,  Mis.  .Sarah  (Whitney)  Marsh,  pays  a  strong  tribute 
to  her  gentle  and  lovalile  character.  She  was  deci)1y  religious,  a 
woman  of  prayer,  and  prayed  much  with  and  for  otljcrs.  She  was  a 
devout  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church.  In  LS31,  she  became 
the  founder  of  a  JMatcrnal  Association.  From  the  winter  of  1870- 
71  her  strength  declined,  and,  returning  from  New  York  in  May, 
she  did  not  resume  the  cares  of  her  household.  Her  death,  at  the  age 
of  eighty-seven  years  and  six  days,  was  lovely  and  peaceful.  "  Filled 
with  the  continual  sense  of  God's  love  and  goodness,  in  pain  always 
patient,  and  sweetly  enduring,  it  was  a  joy  to  be  with  her  and  to  feel 
the  inspiring  influence  of  such  a  life." 

She  married,  June  12,  1817,  James  Douglas  of  West  Springfield, 
Mass. ;  born  Aug.  29,  1778,  at  West  Springfield;  died  Oct.  10,  1851, 
at  Trenton.  He  was  a  widower  with  seven  children  when  he  married

Presbytery  of  Buffalo  city  of  Avhich  he  was  a  member,  and  l)y  very 
many  others  with  whom  he  was  acquainted."  At  the  age  of  eight 
years,  on  the  death  of  his  father,  he  was  placed  in  the  family  of  a 
relative,  where  he  received  a  pious  education.  According  to  the  cus- 
tom then  prevalent  in  JS'ew  England,  he  was  trained  in  the  Assembly's 
Shorter  Catechism,  which  gave  him  a  permanent  impression.  In  his 
early  years  he  was  the  subject  of  many  serious  reflections,  particularly 
on  the  afternoon  and  evening  of  the  Lord's  day,  when  he  retired  from 
public  worship  to  his  room,  alone.  In  1795,  he  entered  Williams  Col- 
lege, but  left  at  the  expiration  of  two  years,  and,  for  five  years,  taught 
in  tlie  academies  at  Cherry  Valley  and  Johnstown,  N.  Y.;  he  then 
returned  to  college  and  graduated  with  a  high  reputation  for  scholar- 
ship, in  1804.  For  two  years  he  was  employed  as  princii)al  of  (he 
Westlield  Academy,  and  from  180G  to  '07  was  tutor  at  AYilliams  Col-

of  harmony  in  the  Church.  He  Avas  ordained  as  pastor  at  Griswold, 
Conn.,  Feb.  M,  ]8I0.  Here  he  hiborcd  for  nearly  twenty  years, 
enjoying  the  confidence  and  alYection  of  a  large  and  llourisliuig  Church. 
He  was  highly  esteemed  as  a  preacher  and  pastor.  He  had  a  clear 
and  discriminating  mind,  and  was  an  accurate  and  thorough  theolo- 
gian. He  possessed  the  confidence  of  his  ministerial  brethren,  and  in 
ecclesiastical  councils  but  few  wei'c  regarded  his  superiors  for  calm 
deliberation  and  sound  judgment.  The  Church  prospered  under  his 
ministry  and  enjoyed  several  seasons  of  revival.  Thus  he  continued 
until  an  accumulation  of  labors  and  cares  broke  down  his  constitution, 
and  laid  the  foundation  for  that  nervous  disorder  from  whieli  he 
suffered  much,  and  by  which  he  was  unfitted  much  of  the  time  for  the 
duties  of  the  ministry.  In  18-10,  he  removed  to  Portage,  N.  Y., 
where  he  continued  until  his  death,  laboring  as  he  had  opportunity, 
and  as  his  health  would  allow.  He  did  much  by  his  contributions  as 
well  as  by  his  labors,  to  sustain  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Portage- 
ville,  with  which  his  family  were  connected,  and  in  whose  prosperity

by  great  strengtli,  breadth  and  quickness;  his  heart,  like  his  intellect, 
was  large,  vivid  and  keenly  sensitive;  his  imagination,  far  reaching 
and  brilliant.  Over  these  splendid  powers  there  reigned  a  will  so 
strong  that  he  could  command  his  strongest  emotions  to  remain 
unseen  in  the  secret  recesses  of  his  soul  and  allow  himself  to  execute 
his  business  enterprises  without  their  intei'fcrence.  He  was  a  con-

bdji  k.  WrM,iAM,  son  of  Jedediali  (John,  Edi'xir'J,  Johii^  Corne- 
lius) and  ]\)lly  (Porter)  Wnklo;  born  Jan.  IG,  1812,  iu  Harrison  Co., 
W.  Va. ;  (lied  Nov.  2,  1881,  at  Sutherland  Spring:,,  Tex. 

Following  the  example  of  several  of  l)iR  older  brothers,  he  left  \\v- 
ginia  in  his  early  youth  for  ^Missouri ;  and  thence  made  his  way  before 
long  to  the  great  i)lains,  which  were  being  crossed  from  time  to  time 
on  the  Santa  F(5  and  Oiihnahua  trails,  by  the  caravans  of  the  early 
traders  (of  whom  his  brother  David  was  one),  freighted  with  American 
goods  for  those  places.  In  a  letter  to  Capt.  Silas  Bent  of  the  U.  S. 
Navy,  then  a  resident  of  St.  Louis,  INIr.  Waldo  embodied  some 
"  Recollections"  of  the  adventures  connected  with  one  of  these  expe- 
ditions made  by  him  before  1831,  in  company  with  his  brother  David, 
Capt.  Charles  Bent  and  others,  which  letter,  after  being  read  before 
the  Missouri  Historical  Society,  was  published  by  that  Society  in  1880. 
After  crossing  the  plains  once  or  twice,  Waldo  Itecamc  a  student  in 
the  college  of  the  Christian  Brothers  at  St.  Louis  and  there  remained 
until,  being  compelled  by  failing  health  to  relin(iuish  his  studies,  he 
again  v.-ent  upon  the  plains  and  there  met,  at  Union  Mission,  the  lady 
who  soon  after  became  his  wife.  After  his  marriage  he  removed  to 
southwestern  ^Missouri,  where,  a  few  years  later,  he  established  the  first 
dry  goods  store  in  that  i)art  of  Bates  Co.,  which  is  now  Vernon 
Co.  He  subsequently  engaged  in  similar  business  in  Osceola,  Mo., 
and,  at  the  same  time,  at  one  or  two  other  points  in  neighboring  coun- 
lies.  During  his  residence  in  Osceola  he  became  the  active  mover  in, 
and  superintendent  of,  the  work  of  improving  the  Osage  Kiver  l)y  wing 
dams,  so  as  to  make  it  navigable  for  steamboats  at  all  stages  of  the 
water.  This  work  accomplished,  he  was  commissioned  to  go  to  Cin- 
cinnati to  purchase  a  steamboat  for  the  river  trade.  On  his  way 
eastward  he  was  wrecked  in  the  Ohio  River  and  was  active  in  saving 
the  lives  of  his  fellow  passengers.  Having  purchased  the  vessel,  the 
"  Ocean  Wave,"  he  returned  with  her  to  the  Osage  River  to  a  higher 
landing-place  than  any  ever  before  reached  by  a  steamboat,  to  the 
pride  and  amazement  of  the  river  people,  some  of  whom,  mistaking 
the  shriek  of  the  whistle  for  the  cry  of  a  panther,  were  proposing  a 
hunt  for  tluit  animal. 

In  1849  Mr.  Waldo  left  jMissouri  in  command  of  one  of  the  largest 
and  best  equipped  companies  of  that  year's  emigration  for  the  new 
]':idorado  of  the  Pacific,  and  reached  his  destination  witli  his  men 
mostly  in  good  health  and  with  his  large  stock  of  animals  in  sound 
and  salable  condition.  In  accordance  with  a  promise  made  to  his 
wife  before  leaving  home,  he  had  habitually  rested  on  the  Sabbath,  on

wLicIi  iliiy  the  use  by  his  men  of  a  well-selected  library  which  he  had 
carried  with  him  furnished  a  pleasing  form  of  recreation. 

In  1850,  iiis  soul  being  stirred  by  the  accounts  carried  westward  of 
the  appalling  suffering  and  destitution  among  the  emigrants  of  that 
year,  he  threw  the  whole  force  of  his  energies  into  the  work  of  arous- 
ing public  sentiment  to  the  point  of  furnishing  ample  and  immediate 
relief.  As  was  said  at  the  time  by  a  well-known  Californian  writer  :— 
"  The  generous,  noble,  self-sacrificing  Waldo  ....  not  only  felt 
deeply  but  he  acted  promptly.  All  acknowledged  that  something 
ought  to  be  done,  but  he  determined  that  something  should  be  done. 
He  generously  proposed  to  convert  his  owji  means,  his  own  lands, 
money,  <S:c.,  into  provisions,  and  to  take  them  in  person  to  the  starving 
peoi)le  in  the  rear."  The  story  of  his  spirited  and  determined  efforts 
in  this  work  of  rescue  and  its  results  is  embraced  in  many  a  record 
belonging  to  that  stirring  period. 

On  Sept.  13,  ISoO,  Mr.  A\^aldo,  writing  from  the  Great  3[cadow  on 
Humboldt  i;iver,  said :—"  From  the  Boiling   Spring   to  this  place  I 
have  met  with  but  few  who  had  any  provisions  at  all,  except  the  poor, 
exhausted  animals  which  have  worked  from  the  States.     Men  on  foot, 
who  comprise  nearly  one-fourth  of  the  entire  number  now  on  the  road] 
.   .   .  are  reduced  to  the  necessity  of  subsisting  on  the  putrid  llesh  of 
the  dead  animals  lining  the  route.     This  has  provoked  the  most  fatal 
consequences.   .   .   .  The  cholera  on  the  8th  inst.  made  its  appearance 
in  one  small  train,  and  carried  off  eight  persons  in  the  space  of  three 
hours.     From  the  Sink  to  this  place  it  is  cutting  them  down  daily. 
Because  of  tlie  Indians  having  stolen  their  stock,  many  families  have 
been  left  from  four  to  six  hundred  miles  from  the  settlements,  without 
teams  or  means  of  conveyance;   and  the  Indians  are  daily  becoming 
more  hostile  and  daring.   .    .   .  Many  women  with  families  of  children 
are  on  the  road,  who  have  lost  their  husbands  by  cholera  ;  and  they 
will  never  cross  the  mountains  without  aid.     1  have  met  intelligent 
packers,  who  left  the  Missouri  River  on  the  first  of  July,  and  They 
concur  in  the  statement  that  there  are  yet  twenty  thousand  back  of  the 
desert.     Fifteen  thousand  of  this  number  are  destitute  of  all  kinds  of

extract  from  one  of  the  many  letters  of  like  tenor,  from  himself  and 
others,  will  serve  to  show  the  character  of  the  need,  for  the  relief  of 
which  Waldo  and  his  fellow  helpers  risked  their  lives  and  faced  unnum-

bered  perils  at  Ihfit  time.  As  av  s  fifterwurds  said  of  him  : — "  There 
was  at  that  period  no  name  upon  the  Pucillc  slope  around  which  the 
heart  of  public  gratitude  and  aftVelion  so  clustered  as  that  of  ^Villi:un 
"Waldo."  In  1S.')1,  and  later,  l)ills  were  introduced  into  the  kgishi- 
tures  of  Missouri  and  Illinois  and  before  Congress,  with  a  view  to  a 
public  recognition  of  tlie  unstinted  devotion  of  his  personal  efforts  and 
his  personal  substance  to  this  great  work  of  relief;  and  subsequently 
an  act  was  passed  b}-  the  California  Legislature  of  at  least  partial 
reimbursement  for  his  financial  expenditures  and  losses  because  of 
that  work. 

In  18a3  he  was  nominated  by  the  Whig  party  of  California  as  its 
candidate  for  Governor  of  the  State,  but  failed  of  election,  although 
it  is  claimed  that  later  investigations  have  proved  that  he  received  a 
majority  of  tlie  suffrages.  Returning  to  the  T^ast,  he  settled  in  IS;")! 
in  Minnesota,  where  he  engaged  in  farming  and  speculation,  and  was 
afterwards,  for  a  considerable  time,  in  various  states  and  territories 
of  the  West  and  Soutli.  In  ISGG  he  removed  to  San  Antonio,  Tex., 
in  and  near  which  city  he  resided  for  a  number  of  years,  his  attention 
being  given  mostly  to  farming.  He  was  a  fluent  writer,  and  con- 
tributed iijany  articles  to  pultlications.  East  and  West,  upon  promi- 
nent Western  questions  and  events,  such  as  the  character  of  and  tlie 
treatment  accorded  to  the  Indian  tribes  beyond  the  ^Mississippi ;  the 
endeavors  and  achievements  of  Ifev.  Marcus  Whitman,  etc. 

Among  the  tributes  to  his  memory  written  after  his  death,  one,  by 

a  gentleman  of  San  Antonio,  who  had  long  known  him,  said  : — 

"  As  is  usual  with  persons  of  temperaraeut  like  bis,  who  scorn  impelled  as 
it  were  by  the  nntirius:  activity  and  force  of  a  steam-motor,  the  history  of 
his  life  was  diver-  ified  with  many  strikinj:  and  romantic  vicissitudes.  In  one 
year,  it  might  lie,  his  enterprise  of  conception  and  Jiis  vigorous  and  rapid  exe- 
cution would  gather  to  liimself  the  clomeut.s  of  a  large  and  easy  competence, 
and  in  the  next,  bis  generous  hand  would  have  expended  for  others,  perJiaps 
a  goodly  portion  of  his  store.     As  it  is  written  '  lie  hath  dispersed  it  abroad  : 

lie  hath  given  to  the  poor.' He  was  known  among  us  here  as  a  man 

of  high  toned  integrity  and  honor,  of  great  intensity  of  feeling  and  purpose, 
and  of  irrepressible  energy  and  enterprise.  He  settled,  after  leaving  this 
city,  in  Wilson  County,  where,  several  years  later,  in  the  su{){)ort  of  a  ChrisLiau 
faith  and  in  the  exercise  of  Cliristiau  services  to  those  aro\nid  him,  at  last 
'  the  silver  cord  was  loosed,  and  the  golden  boAvl  was  broken.'  'The  i)ath  of 
the  just,'  we  are  told,  '  shineth  more  and  more  unto  the  perfect  day'  and  the 
marbles  that  mark  the  resting-places,  side  by  side,  in  a  southern  cemetery 
shaded  by  evergreen  live  oaks,  of  William  Waldo  and  his  wife,  say  of  each 
peaceful  slee|)cr  there  :  '  Blessed  are  the  dead  who  die  in  the  Lord.'"

as  early  as  1S32,  and  was  living  therewith  wife  Hannali  in  184G,  when 
he  prolxably  moved  to  the  West  and  further  record  of  him  has  been

bought  one  acre  of  land  in  Royalton,  which  he  and  his  wife  Hannah

thirty-seven  and  three-quarters  acres  in  Hartland,  N.  Y.,  which  he  and 
his  wife  Hannah  sold  Dec.  15,  1846,  being  then  called  of  Hartland.' 

A  letter  from  Chauncy  Waldo  to  his  brother  Volney,  dated  Newfane, 
Apr.  8,  1835,  speaks  of  his  half-sisters,  IMelinda  and  L;iura,  as  mar- 
ried, says  that  his  wife  Hannah  sends  her  respects  to  his  brother  and 
wife,  and  adds  that  his  "  little  daughter  Harriet  sends  her  love  to  all." 
In  another  letter,  written  in  1839,  he  says  that  his  Avife  has  had  two 
girls  an<l  one  boy,  and  that  the  latter  died  Apr.  8,  aged  22  months. 
It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  he  had  at  least  three  children,'-'

at  Brklgewater,  N.  Y.  ;  died  Nov.  S,  1S51,  at  Burritl's  Ilapids,  Out. 
V/ben  his  fatlier  was  removing  bis  family  to  Detroit,  the  wagon  on 
wbleli  Volney  was  riding  was,  by  some  accident,  upset  and  Volney 
was  thrown  on  some  logs  by  the  roadside,  and  one  leg  and  an  arm 
were  broken.  The  accident  having  occurred  but  a  few  miles  from 
their  old  home  the  unfortunate  boy  was  left  with  his  brother  Ephraim, 
then  married  and  living  at  Bridgewater,  and  before  he  could  be  sent  to 
his  parents  his  father  was  killed  at  the  battle  of  Queeustown  Heights, 
and  Volney  remained  with  his  brother.  When  old  enough  he  was 
apprenticed  to  the  carpenter  and  joiner  trade  at  Cherry  Valley,  N.  Y. 
At  the  age  of  twenty-two  he  went  to  Canada  in  search  of  his  fatlier, 
having  heard  rumors  which  led  him  to  think  he  had  sur\-ived  the  battle 
of  Queeustown,  Init  getting  no  trace  of  him  he  obtained  work  at  his 
trade  in  Brockville  and  remained  there  three  years.  After  his  mar- 
riage, he  removed  to  the  Rideau  Puver  and  settled  at  a  place  after- 
wards called  Burritt's  Rapids  and  there  passed  the  rest  of  his  life. 
Having  thus  separated  from  his  family,  he  had  but  little  or  no

Mr.  Waldo  had  been  in  feeble  health  for  some  tinie,  and  about  a 
month  ago  had  a  severe  paralytic  shock  from  -which  he  seemed  to  re- 
cover. Wednesday  he  was  out  of  doors  several  times,  but  in  the  latter 
part  of  the  afteriioou  complained  of  a  slight  indisposition,  and  refired 
and  in  a  few  moments  passed  away  quietly  and  peacefully  before  help 
could  be  sunnnoned.  .  .  .  Mr.  Waldo  was  a  tailor  by  trade,  came  to 
Portland,  ^le.,  and  afterwards  to  Thomastou,  being  about  21  years  of 
age  when  he  went  into  trade  in  the  latter  place.  His  place  of  business

]\Ir.  Kellogg  at  the  Creek,  which  was  then  the  l)Uhiiiess  center  of  the 
town.  The  stoi'e  in  which  he  did  business  now  stands  on  the  old 
site.  .  .  .  i\Ir.  Waldo  was  a  consistent  member  of  the  Congregational 
Church  and  sang  for  years  in  its  choir.  ...  He  was  a  kind  and 
indulgent  father  and  husband,  and  an  upright  citizen,  whose  life  is 
Avoi'thy  of  all  emulation."
